                  Photoshop allows you to 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.


                   Rotate View Tool

                  Rotate View Tool (shortcut R) allows you to rotate the entire canvas along with the image,
                  providing greater flexibility when working at different angles. A compass appears in the
                  centre. As soon as you click on the Rotate View Tool, the mouse pointer changes into
                  rotate view icon. You can click and drag to rotate the canvas clockwise or anti-clockwise. A
                  Red Marker at the top of the compass points to the top of the image.


                   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 Application Bar. To use the keyboard

                  shortcut, hold Ctrl and press + to zoom in, and Ctrl and – to zoom out.
