                             NAVIGATION TOOLS


                  Photoshop allows you to modify the 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

                  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 into the image while working with Lasso Tool for
                  the perfect selection.

                  ROTATE VIEW TOOL

                  Rotate View Tool has a keyboard shortcut R. It rotates the whole canvas with the image and
                  not just the image. 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.
