Media Inspector helps you compare multiple media files side by side without leaving your workflow.
Whether you're reviewing AI-generated variations, comparing outputs from different models, or choosing a final asset, Media Inspector makes it easier to spot differences and make decisions faster.
What is Media Inspector?
Media Inspector allows you to compare multiple media items in a single view.
Instead of opening files one at a time and relying on memory, you can review selected images side by side and evaluate them together.
This is especially useful when:
Comparing outputs from different AI models
Reviewing multiple prompt variations
Selecting the best version from several generations
Checking branding, text placement, or design changes
Making final creative approvals
How to use Media Inspector
Step 1: Select media on the canvas
On the canvas, hold Command (⌘) on Mac or Ctrl on Windows and click the media items you want to compare.
You can select multiple media nodes at the same time.
Once selected, the media selection tray will appear showing the number of selected items.
Step 2: Open Media Inspector
Click the Compare Media icon in the media selection tray.
Media Inspector will open and display your selected media files side by side.
Step 3: Compare your media
Review your selected files together to identify:
Visual differences
Model output variations
Design changes
Branding updates
Text placement and readability
Overall quality and composition
Having everything visible in one place makes comparisons much faster than switching between individual previews.
Step 4: View file details
Click Show Details to view metadata for each file.
Available information may include:
Resolution
File format
Dimensions
Color mode
File size
Date created
Date modified
This helps when comparing outputs that may look similar but have different technical properties.
Step 5: Narrow down your selection
As you review media, you can remove files from the comparison view and continue evaluating the remaining options.
This makes it easy to progressively narrow down choices until you've identified the best version.
Tips for better comparisons

Use file details when image quality or format matters
Compare several versions at once instead of opening files individually
