Once we've learned everything there is to know about zooming, we'll move on to panning and scrolling an image in Photoshop. Then, we'll learn the essentials of how to use the Zoom Tool in Photoshop, and follow it up with some advanced zooming techniques. From there, we'll explore the different zoom options found under the View menu. We'll start with the basics and learn how to view and change the zoom level from the document window. In this tutorial, you'll learn everything you need to know to navigate images like a pro in Photoshop. To work efficiently in Photoshop, navigating an image needs to become second nature. And, just as important as knowing how to navigate an image is knowing how to do it quickly. Other times, we'll zoom far out for a bird's eye view of the bigger picture.

At times, we'll need to zoom in close to examine small details. Navigating an image means knowing how to zoom in and out, and how to pan, or scroll, from one part of the image to another. Whether we're editing or retouching an image, restoring an old or damaged photograph, or creating wild and imaginative effects, we need to know how to navigate around our images in Photoshop.
