Navigating the Preview

PhotoFrame provides a number of easy ways to navigate and view your image in the Preview window.

Hand Tool
The Hand tool is used to drag the image within the Preview window, whenever the image size is larger than the viewable area.

To pan (scroll) in the Preview screen:

Select the Hand tool and drag the image until you locate the area you wish to view.
With any other tool selected press Spacebar while you drag the image in the window.

Tip: Hold down the spacebar temporarily to activate the Hand tool no matter what tool is currently selected

Tip: Double-click the Hand tool in the Toolbar to set the image to a magnification that fits completely in the current window size.

Zoom Tool
The Zoom tool changes the magnification of the image in the Preview screen from 1% to 1600%.

With the Zoom tool selected:

Click in the Preview window to zoom in and center the image at the location clicked.
Click and drag in the Preview screen to draw a rectangular marquee—the screen fills with the area within the marquee when you release the mouse.
Double-click in the Preview screen to set the Preview screen to 100% magnification.
Hold the Option key (Mac) or Alt key (Win) and click to zoom out (cursor changes to a minus sign).

Tip: Double-click the Zoom tool in the Toolbar to set the image to 1:1 or 100% magnification, showing every pixel. This is best when adjusting textures and for examining small details.
