Directions:
Take out your PHOTOSHOP NOTES document handed out yesterday in class, and use the screen shot on page one as a guide when reading the article below.
Read the directions below and send me an email letting me know how to:
1. Zoom in and out of a document using your keyboard (i.e. the Zoom shortcut)
2. The steps to reset your document to the normal size.
PHOTOSHOP- HOW TO ZOOM!
Zooming in and out of your image, quickly and easily.
Photoshop's "zoom" facility is very versatile and allows you to zoom in and out of an image in many different ways. You can even have different views of the same document open at once, with different zoom levels!
The Zoom tool
The most obvious method is the Zoom tool. Click on the magnifying glass icon in the toolbar and the mouse pointer will change to a magnifying glass with a "+" sign in it.
To zoom into an image, just click on the image. The view will zoom into the area you clicked on. To zoom out, Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Mac) in the window.
To zoom into a specific area of the image, click and drag a rectangle round the area with the zoom tool.
Zooming with the keyboard
A much quicker way to zoom is with the Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) and Alt (Option) keys, and the + and - keys, either on the numeric keypad or on the main keyboard. This is great because you don't have to switch to the zoom tool.
Hit the Ctrl and +/- keys to zoom in and out. The whole window will resize to fit the new zoomed image, if it can.
Hit the Ctrl and Alt (Option) keys together with the +/- keys, and the window will stay the same size as the image inside zooms in or out - great if you have limited screen space:
Setting your image to normal size
To set your image to normal size, then select View > New View. Zoom this image in using one of the above techniques. As you paint in this zoomed window, you can see the results in your original, non-zoomed window!
