Join Julieanne Kost for an in-depth discussion in this video Panning and zooming documents, part of Photoshop CC 2017 Essential Training: The Basics.
- [Narrator] There are a variety of different ways…to zoom in and out of an image, as well as…pan around to see different areas.…If we look at the view menu,…there are four different options that I use quite often.…Zoom in, zoom out,…fit on screen and 100%.…You'll notice that each one of these…has its own keyboard shortcut.…On Mac it's the command key,…on Windows it's the control key,…and you use plus or minus to zoom in and out…or zero and one to either fit on screen or go to 100%.…
I'll go ahead and choose to view at 100%,…and Photoshop automatically zooms in to that percentage.…If I use the command key and the minus key,…that allows me to quickly zoom out…every time I tap the minus key.…If I switch to the plus key, I can quickly zoom in.…If I use command-zero, then Photoshop will show me…my entire image in the preview area.…Sometimes this does appear at a very odd zoom percentage.…
We can see right now that it's fit to 37.1%.…And every once in a while I'll notice that my image…looks a little bit jaggy at some of these odd percentages.…
