Changing the View Zone


If you did not opt to resize the image window as you zoomed, zooming in on the image may magnify it to such a size that the image can't fully display in the image window. When this happens, you can use a few different methods to choose which area of the image appears in the image window, thus enabling you to view and work with that portion of the image. This section explores those methods : scroll bars, the Hand tool, and the Navigator.

Using Scroll Bars

Scroll bars appear whenever you've resized the image window so that it can't display all of the image. When this happens, you can use the scroll bars as described next to scroll into view the portion of the image that you'd like to work with.

  1. Click on a scroll arrow on either the vertical or horizontal scroll bar. Each time you click, Photoshop will scroll the image by a small increment.

  2. Drag a scroll bar box. Photoshop will scroll the image much more quickly.

  3. Click on the scroll bar itself above or below (or to the left or right of) the scroll box. Depending on the scroll bar and the side of the scroll box on which you click, Photoshop scrolls the image as far as possible in the designated direction.

Using the Hand Tool

You can use the Hand tool to scroll the image in multiple directions at once ”much like using both scroll bars simultaneously . The following steps explain how to do so.

  1. Click on the Hand tool in the toolbox. The mouse pointer will change to a hand pointer.

  2. Click and drag the image with the hand pointer. Photoshop will scroll the image in the same direction that you drag.

Using the Navigator

You can use the Navigator palette for multiple purposes ”to change the image zoom and to scroll the displayed portion of the image. These steps describe both uses for the palette.

  1. Click on the Navigator tab in the Navigator palette, if necessary. If the palette is not onscreen, it can be opened from the Window menu. The Navigator tab will become active.

  2. Drag the zoom slider in the Navigator palette. Photoshop will zoom the image to the specified size.

    Note

    You also can type a zoom percentage in the text box on the Navigator palette and then press Enter, or you can click on one of the buttons at either end of the zoom slider in the Navigator palette to change the zoom.

  3. Drag the red box on the thumbnail image in the Navigator palette with the hand pointer. Photoshop will scroll the image to display the portion of the image bounded by the red box in the thumbnail.
