NAVIGATION TOOLS
Photoshop allows you modify view of an image using the navigation tools. Let's learn about them.
Hand Tool
Hand Tool allows you to scroll the image on the canvas. Holding down the Spacebar key also helps
to achieve the same result. By double-clicking the Hand Tool icon in the Tools panel, the image will
fit to the screen. It is useful when you are zoomed in the image and working with Lasso Tool for
perfect selection.
Zoom Tool
Zoom Tool allows you to zoom into certain areas to get a closer view of the image. Choose View →
Zoom In or View → Zoom Out from the Menu Bar. To use the keyboard shortcut, hold Ctrl and press
