Navigator
While working with photos, you'll often need to zoom in to touch
up an image. It may sound cliché, but it's easy to lose your per-
spective when working in Photoshop. When you zoom in to a pixel
level for image touchup, you often won't be able to see the entire
image onscreen. This is where the Navigator comes in handy.
