Zooming

mattyboy777 · Moderator

There's plenty of ways to zoom in and out of your images inside Photoshop, which ways suits you best?

I use CTRL SPACEBAR to zoom in,
and
CTRL ALT SPACEBAR to zoom out.

I'm also partial to the scroll wheel on the mouse.

I have a Sidewinder mouse (5-button) which comes with a tool for setting program-specific commands on the extra buttons. So I have two buttons under my thumb for zooming in and out.

I use ctrl+ + and ctrl+- to zoom. Then my finger is on the ctrl key for when I want to ctrl+shift+0 to return to original size.

Ctrl + and Ctrl - for me and occasionally use the mouse wheel.

Cool, thanks for all your replies so far!

That mouse sounds like a beast!

Hey govescrivenor,

You can turn it on/off inside preferences (Edit -> Preferences).

The zoom wheel's a good, quick way to zoom in/out!
