Zoomed In? Don’t Use The Scroll Bars

 

If you’ve zoomed in on an image, using the scroll bars can be incredibly frustrating, because you move just a tiny bit. Here’s how to get around that—don’t use the scroll bars. (Okay, there’s more to it than that.) Instead, when you’re zoomed in, use the Hand tool, but to save time, access it by simply pressing the Spacebar. It temporarily switches you to the Hand, letting you easily navigate through your zoomed image.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
