Local Adjustment = the lightened brush stroke
ReTouch = replaced the man with the lady in the red coat
.

1. compare → “No corrections (without geometry)”
   
   
   
   ref. = preset “6 - No correction” / no crop
   .
2. compare → “No corrections (with geometry)”
   
   
   
   ref. = preset “3 - DxO Optical Corrections only” / crop
   .
3. compare → “All corrections except Local Adjustments”
   
   
   
   ref. = current pic / no LA
   .
4. compare → “All corrections except ReTouch”
   
   
   
   ref. = current pic / no ReTouch
   .
5. compare → “All corrections except ReTouch”
   
   
   
   → Show Mask = keystroke M ( → Windows)
   .
6. compare → “All corrections except ReTouch”
   
   
   
   → selecting the Mask = editing mode

note – about the zoom level

That is, in split view I can (also) zoom in/out synchronously with the mouse.
