Zoom Tool of Photoshop: Graphic Designers’ Favorite
Author: kmanish
In corporate graphic design , Photoshop plays a very crucial role. This flagship photo-editing program from the house of Adobe Systems helps one fix flaws in digital or scanned images through its multiple tools. The program also has a feature for enlarging your image so as to let you have a bigger view of it besides helping you pinpoint a flaw easily. The feature is called Zoom Tool and it can be used to enlarge the whole image or selected areas of the image.
In any professional graphic design activity, the Zoom Tool of Photoshop can be seen used very frequently by the designers. Not all images are always perfect and hence they often use the tool to find the flaw. Using the tool graphic designers can zoom in and out at fingertips. By simply clicking in the toolbar you will find that the mouse pointer will change to a magnifying glass featuring a “+” sign in it. In order to zoom into an image, all you need to do is to click on the image. The area you have clicked on, will be zoomed. Using Alt+Click in Windows and Option+Click in Mac, you can zoom out as well.
Another way to zoom in and out with the tool is through the help of the keyboard. With the Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) and Alt (Option) keys, and the + and - keys, you can have a quicker way of zooming in and out. As you don't have to switch to the zoom tool, graphic design professionals working for graphic design firms often use these shortcut.
In graphic designing, the Zoom Tool also allows you to zoom in and out by exact numeric amount. By using the small white box at the bottom left of the Photoshop window, you can type a value by double clicking on it and then press Enter. Multiple zooming can also be done using the tool. Because of so many options, this tool has been a favorite tool for any graphic design agency.
