Zooming and Scrolling - Images: Japanese
Hey everyone!
Next, let's look at zooming and scrolling the canvas.
First, zooming. This is about zooming in on the canvas view — not resizing the image itself. Open any image to get started. If you'd like to download one, here you go.
Look at the left side of the screen. You should see something like this:
If it isn't showing, go to 'Window' in the menu bar and check 'Tools'. That should bring it up.
This panel is where Photoshop's 'tools' are gathered. It's commonly referred to as the 'Toolbar', 'Tool Panel', or 'Tool List'. In Photoshop, you'll select tools from this panel to perform various operations. Near the bottom of the panel, you should see a magnifying glass icon:
Click it to switch to zoom mode, then click somewhere on the canvas to zoom in. This tool is called the 'Zoom Tool' — though in practice, people rarely use the formal name, so don't worry too much about memorizing it.
To zoom out, look at the top of the screen — you'll see a zoom out icon (magnifying glass with a minus sign). Click it:
Click anywhere on the canvas and it will zoom out.
To return to 100% view, click '100%' in that same area and the canvas will display at actual size.
Zooming in and out is something you'll do constantly while working. Clicking back and forth between the zoom icons is inefficient, so use the keyboard shortcut instead. On Windows, hold 'Alt' and scroll the mouse wheel; on macOS, hold 'option' and scroll. You can also zoom by dragging while the Zoom Tool is selected.
To snap back to 100%, use 'Ctrl' + 'Alt' + '0' on Windows or 'option' + 'command' + '0' on macOS. Note that it's the number '0', not the letter 'o'.
Now for scrolling. To scroll the canvas using a tool, use the 'Hand Tool'. Click this icon:
This switches you to scroll mode. Try dragging to move around the canvas.
Scrolling is also something you'll do constantly, so using a shortcut is the way to go. On both Windows and macOS, holding the 'Space' bar temporarily activates the Hand Tool. Try holding 'Space' and dragging. You can also scroll the canvas simply by scrolling the mouse wheel without pressing anything. If your mouse has a horizontal tilt wheel, that can make panning even more convenient.
That's all for zooming and scrolling. In the next article, we'll look at undoing work and using the History feature. Keep going — see you there!
