Using Compare Mode for JSTOR Images

When viewing images on JSTOR you can use compare mode, which allows you to compare up to four images together in a single view. You can also view images with and without the image details. 

Note that whether you select to show or hide image details, your selected preference will persist for any images you view afterward.

Instructions

1. To get started, select any image published to JSTOR that you wish to compare it with up to three images. Once you have located your image to enter Compare Mode click "Compare" in the upper right corner of the image viewer.
2. Once you have clicked "Compare," a modal window will open where you will be able to choose the images you wish to compare images from one of three different places:

• • Workspace Images
    • If you have saved images to your workspace, these will be listed when you open compare mode. You can select any images from any folder in your workspace and compare them. If needed, you can learn more about using your Workspace.
  • Searched Images 
    • You may search for images after entering Compare Mode. To conduct an image search in Compare Mode, select "Search Results" and enter your search term.
  • Suggested Images
    • You will see suggested images for you to compare with if you do not have any images saved to your workspace.

2. Use the checkboxes next to the available images in the Image Selection Menu to select up to three images. This allows for a maximum of four images to be used in Compare Mode at once.

4. Click the "Compare" button in the bottom right after selecting the images you wish to compare for closer viewing and analysis.

The other images will remain unless you choose to exit out of them individually or out of Compare Mode entirely.
