If you hover your cursor over the zoom level in the lower left, and hold down the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key on your keyboard, or the <strong>Command<\/strong> key on a Mac, your cursor will change to a <strong>scrubby slider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zoom-scrubby-slider.png\" alt=\"Hovering over the zoom level while holding the Ctrl (Win) \/ Command (Mac) key\" width=\"309\" height=\"87\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hover over the zoom level and hold Ctrl (Win) \/ Command (Mac).<\/div>\n<p>You can then drag to the right to zoom in, or drag to the left to zoom out. And if you add the <strong>Shift<\/strong> key (so that\u2019s <strong>Shift+Ctrl<\/strong> in Windows or <strong>Shift+Command<\/strong> on a Mac) you\u2019ll zoom in or out in larger 10&#37; increments.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zooming-in-with-scrubby-slider.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging with the scrubby slider to zoom in on the image.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging with the scrubby slider to zoom in.<\/div>\n<h3>Photoshop's Zoom In and Zoom Out commands<\/h3>\n<p>Another way to zoom in and out of an image is by going up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and using the <strong>Zoom In<\/strong> and <strong>Zoom Out<\/strong> commands.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-zoom-in-out-commands.png\" alt=\"Photoshop's Zoom In and Zoom Out commands under the View menu.\" width=\"268\" height=\"224\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Zoom In and Zoom Out commands under the View menu.<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose Zoom In, and Photoshop zooms the image in a bit closer.

And these are two of the most useful shortcuts in Photoshop to memorize. To zoom in, press and hold the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key, or the <strong>Command<\/strong> key on a Mac, and then press the <strong>plus sign<\/strong> (<strong>+<\/strong>). And to zoom out, hold the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key, or <strong>Command<\/strong> on a Mac, and press the <strong>minus sign<\/strong> (<strong>-<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-zoom-in-out-command-shortcuts.png\" alt=\"The keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop's Zoom In and Zoom Out commands.\" width=\"208\" height=\"110\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The keyboard shortcuts for the Zoom In and Zoom Out commands.<\/div>\n<h3>Photoshop\u2019s zoom level presets<\/h3>\n<p>Keep an eye on the zoom level in the document tab as you press <strong>Ctrl++<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command++<\/strong> (Mac) to zoom in on the image, and <strong>Ctrl+-<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+-<\/strong> (Mac) to zoom out. Notice that the zoom level jumps to specific values.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you zoom out to <strong>25&#37;<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zoom-out-to-25percent.png\" alt=\"Zooming the image out to 25 percent.\" width=\"294\" height=\"104\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Zoomed out to 25&#37;.<\/div>\n<p>And then press <strong>Ctrl++<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command++<\/strong> (Mac) to zoom in, the zoom level will jump to <strong>33.3&#37;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zoom-in-to-33percent.png\" alt=\"Photoshop jumps the zoom level from 25 percent to 33.3 percent\" width=\"294\" height=\"104\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The zoom level jumps from 25&#37; to 33.3&#37;.<\/div>\n<p>Continue zooming in and the zoom level jumps to <strong>50&#37;<\/strong>, then <strong>66.7&#37;<\/strong>, and then <strong>100&#37;<\/strong>. And if you press <strong>Ctrl+-<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+-<\/strong> (Mac) repeatedly to zoom out, the zoom level jumps from <strong>100&#37;<\/strong> back to <strong>66.7&#37;<\/strong>, then <strong>50&#37;<\/strong>, <strong>33.3&#37;<\/strong>, and then back to<strong> 25&#37;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These are not random values. These are the zoom levels that give us the most accurate view of the image. Any time we\u2019re viewing the image at a zoom level less than 100&#37;, we\u2019re not seeing all of the pixels. So Photoshop needs to redraw the image with fewer pixels while still trying to make it look as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re zoomed in at a value other than one of these presets, the image will look softer on your screen than it really is.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on the left is the image zoomed in to an odd value, like 51.25&#37;. And on the right is the image zoomed in to 50&#37; (one of the presets). Notice how her eyelashes look softer on the left and sharper on the right. That\u2019s because the 50&#37; zoom level on the right is giving us a more accurate view.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zoom-level-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison of the sharpness at two different zoom levels in Photoshop.\" width=\"809\" height=\"302\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A sharpness comparison with the zoom level at 51.25&#37; (left) and 50&#37; (right).<\/div>\n<p>So whenever you need a sharper view of your image,  use the keyboard shortcut <strong>Ctrl++<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command++<\/strong> (Mac) to zoom in, or <strong>Ctrl+-<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+-<\/strong> (Mac) to zoom out to the nearest preset level (25&#37;, 33.3&#37;, 50&#37;, 66.7&#37;, 100&#37; and so on).<\/p>\n<h3>The Fit on Screen command<\/h3>\n<p>To go back to viewing the entire image at once, go up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu and choose the <strong>Fit on Screen<\/strong> command. And notice that it has a keyboard shortcut, <strong>Ctrl+0<\/strong> or <strong>Command+0<\/strong> on a Mac.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-fit-on-screen-command.png\" alt=\"Choosing the Fit on Screen command from the View menu in Photoshop.\" width=\"208\" height=\"105\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to View &gt; Fit on Screen.<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose Fit on Screen, and now the entire image is once again visible.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/fit-on-screen-zoom-level-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"The zoom level after choosing the Fit on Screen command in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The result after choosing Fit on Screen.<\/div>\n<h3>The 100&#37; view<\/h3>\n<p>But to get the <em>most<\/em> accurate view possible, we need to view the image at a zoom level of 100&#37;. And you can jump to 100&#37; at any time by going up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu and choosing <strong>100&#37;<\/strong>. Or by pressing the keyboard shortcut, <strong>Ctrl+1<\/strong> or <strong>Command+1<\/strong> on a Mac.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-100percent-view-command.png\" alt=\"Choosing the 100 percent command from Photoshop's View menu.\" width=\"208\" height=\"105\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to View &gt; 100&#37;.<\/div>\n<p>While we have the View menu open, notice that all of the main zoom commands share the same key for their shortcut. It\u2019s the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key on a Windows PC and the <strong>Command<\/strong> key on a Mac. Once you know that, all you need to remember is to add the <strong>plus sign<\/strong> to zoom in, the <strong>minus sign<\/strong> to zoom out, <strong>0<\/strong> to fit the image on screen, and <strong>1<\/strong> to jump to 100&#37;.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-zoom-in-out-shortcuts.png\" alt=\"The zoom command keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop.\" width=\"208\" height=\"146\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The zoom command shortcuts.<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose 100&#37;, and the image jumps to the 100&#37; zoom level.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/view-image-100percent-zoom-level.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing the image at the 100 percent zoom level in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Viewing the image at the 100&#37; zoom level.<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s very important to understand that viewing the image at 100&#37; is the <em>only<\/em> way to see a truly accurate view of your image with all of its detail. At 100&#37;, each pixel in the image is displayed by a single pixel on your screen. And that is not true with any other zoom level.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/using-smart-sharpen-for-the-best-image-sharpening-in-photoshop\/\" title=\"Learn more\">sharpening the image<\/a> or doing anything where you need the most accurate view possible, be sure to view it at 100&#37;.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I\u2019ll go back to fitting it on the screen by pressing <strong>Ctrl+0<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+0<\/strong> (Mac).<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/fit-on-screen-zoom-level-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Fitting the image on screen.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Fitting the image on screen.<\/div>\n<h3>Using the Zoom Tool<\/h3>\n<p>So far, we\u2019ve learned that we can zoom in and out using the Zoom in and Zoom Out commands.

They can only zoom on the center of the document window.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>To control which part of the image we\u2019re zooming in to, we use Photoshop\u2019s <strong>Zoom Tool<\/strong>, found near the bottom of the <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-tools-toolbar-overview\/\" title=\"Learn more\">toolbar<\/a>.

In fact, these days Photoshop lets you zoom all the way in to 12800&#37;, although you may want to get your eyes checked if you need to zoom in that close. But once we go beyond 100&#37;, we\u2019re not seeing any more detail. We\u2019re just making the pixels larger. <\/p>\n<p>Here I\u2019m zoomed in to 800&#37; and the image is looking quite blocky: <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/view-image-800percent-zoom-level.jpg\" alt=\"Zooming in beyond 100 percent in Photoshop only makes the pixels bigger.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Zooming in beyond 100&#37; only makes the pixels bigger.<\/div>\n<h3>The Pixel Grid<\/h3>\n<p>If you continue zooming in closer and closer beyond 100&#37;, you\u2019ll eventually see an outline around the pixels known as the <strong>Pixel Grid<\/strong>. The grid won\u2019t be visible when you save or print the image. It\u2019s just for reference. And it will disappear when you zoom back out.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/photoshop-pixel-grid.jpg\" alt=\"The Pixel Grid in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Pixel Grid appears when you zoom in far beyond 100&#37;.<\/div>\n<p>You can disable the Pixel Grid by going up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu, choosing <strong>Show<\/strong>, and then <strong>Pixel Grid<\/strong> to deselect it. To turn it back on later, just go back to the View menu and reselect it. Personally I just leave it on because I rarely zoom in close enough for it to appear.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/turning-off-the-pixel-grid-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Turning the Pixel Grid off in Photoshop.\" width=\"188\" height=\"111\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to View &gt; Show &gt; Pixel Grid to turn the grid on and off.<\/div>\n<h3>How to temporarily switch to the Zoom Tool from your keyboard<\/h3>\n<p>So the Zoom Tool is great for zooming in on a specific area. But rather than selecting it from the toolbar every time you need to zoom in or out, a better way is to access the Zoom Tool temporarily from your keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Just hold down the <strong>spacebar<\/strong> and the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key on a Windows PC, or the <strong>spacebar<\/strong> and the <strong>Command<\/strong> key on a Mac. Mac users may need to hold the spacebar first, <em>then<\/em> the Command key, to avoid a conflict with the MacOS operating system.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll have access to the Zoom Tool for as long as the keys are held down so you can click on an area to zoom in. To zoom out, add the <strong>Alt<\/strong> key, or the <strong>Option<\/strong> key on a Mac. Release the Alt or Option key to switch back to zooming in, and release all the keys to switch back to the previous tool so you can keep on working.<\/p>\n<h3>Continuous Zoom<\/h3>\n<p>Another way to use the Zoom Tool is with a feature known as <strong>Continuous Zoom<\/strong>. With the Zoom Tool active, click on an area where you want to zoom in and keep your mouse button held down. After a second or so, Photoshop will start zooming in continuously until you release your mouse button. To zoom out continuously, add the <strong>Alt<\/strong> key or the <strong>Option<\/strong> key, and then click and hold.<\/p>\n<h3>Scrubby Zoom<\/h3>\n<p>But my favorite way, and the fastest way, to use the Zoom Tool is with a feature called <strong>Scrubby Zoom<\/strong>. This feature should be turned on by default. But just to make sure, select the Zoom Tool from the toolbar.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/select-zoom-tool-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Zoom Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"64\" height=\"130\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Zoom Tool.<\/div>\n<p>And in the Options Bar, make sure <strong>Scrubby Zoom<\/strong> is checked.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/turn-on-scrubby-zoom-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Photoshop's Scrubby Zoom option in the Options Bar.\" width=\"418\" height=\"104\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Scrubby Zoom option in the Options Bar.<\/div>\n<p>Then simply click and drag to the right to zoom in on an area, or drag to the left to zoom out. The faster you drag, the faster the zooming will be.<\/p>\n<p>The only catch with Scrubby Zoom is that you need to start dragging immediately after you click. If you wait too long, Photoshop will assume you want to use Continuous Zoom instead. And once Continuous Zoom starts, dragging has no effect. So to use Scrubby Zoom, make sure you start dragging as soon as your mouse button is down.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/scrubby-zoom-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Clicking and dragging left or right with the Zoom Tool to use Scrubby Zoom in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag left or right with the Zoom Tool to use Scrubby Zoom.<\/div>\n<h3>Dragging a selection outline to zoom in<\/h3>\n<p>If you turn Scrubby Zoom off by unchecking it in the Options Bar:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/turn-scrubby-zoom-off-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Turning Scrubby Zoom off in Photoshop's Options Bar.\" width=\"327\" height=\"103\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Turning Scrubby Zoom off.<\/div>\n<p>Then the Zoom Tool behaves more like the <a href=\"\/basics\/selections\/rectangular-marquee-tool\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Rectangular Marquee Tool<\/a>. You can click and drag a selection outline around an area:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/drag-outline-around-area-to-zoom-in.jpg\" alt=\"Clicking and dragging a selection outline with the Zoom Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"804\" height=\"456\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">With Scrubby Zoom off, click and drag a selection outline with the Zoom Tool.<\/div>\n<p>And when you release your mouse button, Photoshop instantly zooms in on that area. If you prefer to work this way, you can leave Scrubby Zoom unchecked. But if you like Scrubby Zoom better, just reselect it in the Options Bar.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/image-zoomed-scrubby-zoom-off.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop zooms in on the selected area when you release your mouse button.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop zooms in on the selected area when you release your mouse button.<\/div>\n<h3>Zooming with the scroll wheel<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, one more way to zoom in and out is by using the <strong>scroll wheel<\/strong> on your mouse. And this works with any tool active, not just the Zoom Tool.<\/p>\n<p>Hover your cursor over the area where you want to zoom in. Press and hold the <strong>Alt<\/strong> key or the <strong>Option<\/strong> key on a Mac, and scroll the wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.<\/p>\n<p>And if you add the <strong>Shift<\/strong> key, you\u2019ll limit the zoom values to just those presets we looked at earlier that give you the sharpest and most accurate view. And that\u2019s the basics of zooming in and zooming out in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/zoom-with-scroll-wheel-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Scrolling in and out of the image in Photoshop using the mouse scroll wheel.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) and scroll up or down to zoom in or out.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How to pan or scroll an image in Photoshop<\/h2>\n<p>Next, let\u2019s look at how to pan or scroll an image from one area to another. Panning or scrolling  is most useful when we\u2019re zoomed in and can\u2019t see everything at once. <\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>So I\u2019ll zoom my image in to 100&#37; by going up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu and choosing <strong>100&#37;<\/strong>. Or by pressing that keyboard shortcut we learned in the previous section, <strong>Ctrl+1<\/strong> or <strong>Command+1<\/strong> on a Mac.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/image-zoomed-to-100percent.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing the image at the 100 percent zoom level in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Viewing the image at 100&#37;.<\/div>\n<h3>Using the Hand Tool<\/h3>\n<p>To pan the image from one area to another, we use Photoshop\u2019s <strong>Hand Tool<\/strong> which is found in the toolbar directly above the Zoom Tool. You can also select the Hand Tool from the keyboard by pressing the letter <strong>H<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/select-hand-tool-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Selecting Photoshop's Hand Tool from the toolbar.\" width=\"64\" height=\"138\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Hand Tool from the toolbar.<\/div>\n<p>With the Hand Tool active, your mouse cursor changes to a hand icon.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/hand-tool-icon-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Photoshop's Hand Tool icon.\" width=\"551\" height=\"412\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Hand Tool icon.<\/div>\n<p>Then simply click on the image, keep your mouse button held down, and drag the image around to view and inspect different areas.

And it will keep moving until it gradually comes to a stop. Or you can stop it manually by clicking on the image again. This is known as <strong>Flick Panning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/flick-panning-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Flick panning the image with the Hand Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Release your mouse button in the middle of a drag to throw the image in that direction.<\/div>\n<p>If Flick Panning is not working, check to make sure it\u2019s enabled in Photoshop\u2019s Preferences. On a Windows PC, go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu. On a Mac, go up to the <strong>Photoshop<\/strong> menu. From there, choose <strong>Preferences<\/strong>, and then <strong>Tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/open-tools-preferences-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Opening the Tools preferences in Photoshop.\" width=\"422\" height=\"419\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Edit (Win) \/ Photoshop (Mac) &gt; Preferences &gt; Tools.<\/div>\n<p>Make sure <strong>Enable Flick Panning<\/strong> is checked, and then click OK to close the Preferences dialog box.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/enable-flick-panning-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Making sure the Enable Flick Panning option is turned on in Photoshop.\" width=\"539\" height=\"142\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Making sure Enable Flick Panning is turned on.<\/div>\n<h3>How to access the Hand Tool temporarily<\/h3>\n<p>Just like with the Zoom Tool that we looked at earlier, you won\u2019t want to select the Hand Tool from the toolbar every time you need to pan to a different part of the image.<\/p>\n<p>So a faster way to work is to access the Hand Tool temporarily from your keyboard. And you can do that by pressing and holding the <strong>spacebar<\/strong>. So holding the spacebar along with the Ctrl (Win) \/ Command (Mac) key lets you access the Zoom Tool temporarily, and holding the spacebar on its own gives you access to the Hand Tool.<\/p>\n<p>Release the spacebar when you are done panning to switch from the Hand Tool back to your previous tool. <\/p>\n<h3>Panning the image with the scroll bars<\/h3>\n<p>You can move the image up or down using the <strong>scroll bar<\/strong> along the <strong>right<\/strong> of the document window. And you can pan left or right using the <strong>scroll bar<\/strong> along the <strong>bottom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/document-window-scroll-bars-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Panning the image in Photoshop using the scroll bars along the right and bottom of the document window.\" width=\"801\" height=\"515\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Panning the image with the scroll bars.<\/div>\n<h3>Panning with the scroll wheel<\/h3>\n<p>But you can also pan the image up, down, left or right using the <strong>scroll wheel<\/strong> on your mouse (if your mouse has one). This works with any tool active, not just the Hand Tool. Scrolling the wheel up moves the image up, and scrolling down moves it down.<\/p>\n<p>Hold the <strong>Ctrl<\/strong> key, or the <strong>Command<\/strong> key on a Mac, and scroll the wheel up to pan the image to the left, or scroll down to pan it to the right.<\/p>\n<p>And just to recap from earlier, holding the Alt or Option key while scrolling your mouse wheel up or down lets you zoom in and out.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/pan-image-with-scroll-wheel-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Panning the image up, down, left or right in Photoshop using the mouse scroll wheel.\" width=\"802\" height=\"501\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Panning the image up, down, left or right using the mouse scroll wheel.<\/div>\n<h3>The Birds Eye View<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, a great way to pan an image  is by using a feature called <strong>Bird\u2019s Eye View<\/strong>, which is not just useful but also a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll zoom in close to my image so we can really see how it works. Here I'm zoomed in to 200&#37;.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/image-zoomed-in-200percent.jpg\" alt=\"Zooming in to 200 percent.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Zooming in on a specific part of the image.<\/div>\n<p>Earlier, we learned that we can select the Hand Tool by pressing the letter <strong>H<\/strong> on the keyboard. To use the Bird\u2019s Eye View, press and hold the letter H. It won\u2019t work by holding the spacebar to temporarily access the Hand Tool, and you need to hold H even if the Hand Tool is already active in the toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>With the H key down, click and hold on your image. Photoshop will zoom the image out so it fits entirely on the screen. And you\u2019ll see a rectangle which represents the area you\u2019ll zoom in to next. Drag the rectangle over the new area you want to inspect.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/birds-eye-view-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"How to use Birds Eye View in Photoshop\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold H, click and hold on the image to zoom out, and drag the rectangle over a different area.<\/div>\n<p>Release your mouse button, and Photoshop instantly zooms in on that area, at the same zoom level you were at previously (so in my case, 200&#37;).<\/p>\n<p>As long as the H key is still down, you can keep clicking and holding on the image to zoom out, dragging the rectangle to a different area, and then releasing your mouse button to zoom back in.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/birds-eye-view-zoomed-in-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"Zooming in on a different area using Birds Eye View in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Release your mouse button to zoom back on.<\/div>\n<h3>Selecting the Fit on Screen and 100&#37; views from the toolbar<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s one last tip. If you ever need to jump to the Fit on Screen or 100&#37; views but can't remember their keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly access them from the toolbar.<\/p>\n<p>Double-click on the <strong>Hand Tool<\/strong> in the toolbar for <strong>Fit on Screen<\/strong>. Or double-click on the <strong>Zoom Tool<\/strong> to jump to <strong>100&#37;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/2022\/zoom-and-pan-images\/hand-tool-zoom-tool-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Double-click the Hand Tool for the Fit on Screen view or the Zoom Tool for 100 percent.\" width=\"122\" height=\"157\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Double-click the Hand Tool for the Fit on Screen view or the Zoom Tool for 100&#37;.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
