Zoom Tool

Used to magnify or reduce the image on screen. The zoom options palette has one choice resize windows to fit. When selected the window grows or contracts with the image.

Tip

You don't have to call up the Zoom tool to change magnification. Go to the image size box in the bottom left corner of your picture and manually key in a percentage to change size. Click and hold down the mouse at the top left of the area you want to magnify and drag to the bottom right. The image will magnify to the selected area.
