Graphics Programs Reference
In-Depth Information
Fit on Screen . This command makes your image as large as it can be while still keeping
the whole thing visible. You can also press Ctrl+0/ -0 to get this view (that's the number
zero, not the letter O), or double-click the Hand tool's icon in the Tools panel (unsurpris-
ingly, the icon is a hand).
Actual Pixels . For the most accurate look at the onscreen size of your photo, choose this
option. If you're creating graphics for the Web, this view shows how big your image will
be in a web browser. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+1/ -1. Or double-click the Zoom tool's
icon (the magnifying glass) in the Tools panel.
Print Size . This view is really just a guess by Elements, because it doesn't know exactly
how big a pixel is on your monitor. But it's a rough approximation of the size the image
would be if you printed it at its current resolution. (Resolution is explained on Changing
the Size of an Image . )
While you may find the whole tab vs. window business a little confusing at first, it gives you
lots of ways to stay organized while working. The box below has some additional tips for
keeping things under control.
Elements gives you three useful tools to adjust your view of a particular image: the Zoom
tool, the Hand tool, and the Navigator panel, all of which are explained in the following sec-
tions.
