Navigating the image area
To work most efficiently in Photoshop, you'll want to know how to zoom (magnify) in and out of your im-
age. Changing the zoom level allows you to select and paint accurately and helps you see details that you
might otherwise have overlooked. The zoom function has a range from a single pixel up to a 3,200 percent
enlargement, which gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of viewing your images.
You'll start by using the View menu to reduce and enlarge the document view, and end by fitting the entire
document on your screen.

Choose View > Zoom In to enlarge the display of

Press Ctrl+minus sign (Windows) or Command+minus sign (Mac OS) to zoom out. This is the key-
board shortcut for View > Zoom Out.
Now you will fit the entire image on the screen.

(zero) (Mac OS), to fit the document to the screen.
