Using Compare Mode for JSTOR Images

When viewing images that have been published to JSTOR you can use compare mode, which allows you to compare up to four images together in a single view.

Note that whether you select to show or hide image details, your metadata viewing selection 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.

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