Since easily changing the magnification of an image is fundamental to

an optimal workflow, Photoshop gives you several ways to accomplish zooming One way to zoom is using the options on the Options bar To access the Zoom tool options, you must have the Zoom tool selected

Photoshop gives you two handy zoom preset values To automatically zoom the document to 100%, double-click the Zoom tool To automati-cally fit the image into the Photoshop workspace, double-click the Hand tool

One of those little used, but handy, tools is Photoshop's Hand tool The Hand tool (so named because it resembles an open hand) lets you quickly move the active image within the document window without ever using the scroll bars For example, you've zoomed the image beyond the size that fits within the document window and you need to change the visible portion of the document It's a simple operation, but

a handy one to know If you have OpenGL on your computer, you can use the Rotate View tool to tilt the canvas for a more comfortable work-ing angle, which is helpful when workwork-ing with drawwork-ing tablets

field

To restore the image back to the

normal canvas angle from a

rotation, click Reset View.

When you open multiple documents, you can use the Window menu or tabs at the top of the Document window to switch between them You can click a tab name to switch and activate the document By default, tabs are displayed in the order in which you open or create documents

However, you can change the order When you want to move or copy information between documents, it’s easier to display several Document windows at the same time and move them around The Arrange Documents menu makes it easy to display open document windows on the screen for better views

Results of 3-Up document arrangement

There are times when you're working on an image in Photoshop, and you need to see two separate views of the image For example, you're working on retouching a photo and you need a zoomed-in view to do fine detail work At the same time, you want to see a normal view to get

an idea of how the retouching is affecting the full-sized image Being able to view one image at two different magnifications is a valuable tool You can also use the Arrange Documents menu to rearrange open document windows on the screen for better views

Working with One

Image in Multiple

Windows

Create Two Views of One Image

Open a document

Click the Arrange Documents

menu, and then click New

Window.

A copy of the active document is

created in a new window

If you want to arrange multiple

documents, click the Arrange

Document menu, and then select

an arrangement button icon (see

the For Your Information for more

details)

Select the Zoom tool on the

toolbox, and then increase the

zoom of the new document to the

desired level

Select an editing or painting tool,

and then begin work on the new

image in the zoomed window

The effects of your work instantly

display in the normal image

window

When you’re done with the new

window, click the Close button.

Photoshop has a lot of tricks up its electronic sleeves, and one of the handiest is the ability to move layers between open documents For example, you have an image of a landscape and sky, but you don't like the sky, so you erase it You then open another document with a sky that suits the design of your document It's a simple matter to move the layer containing the preferred sky into any other open document

Moving Layers

Between Two Open

Documents

Move Layers Between

Documents

Open two or more documents

Click on the document containing

the layer you want to move to

make it the active document

Select the Move tool on the

toolbox

Drag the layer you want to move

from the open document window

into the second document

IMPORTANT If the document

you're moving a layer into contains

more than one layer, Photoshop

places the layer you're moving

directly above the active layer in

the second document If the layer

is in the wrong stacking order,

drag it up and down in the Layers

panel until it's correctly

positioned

You can also drag a layer thumbnail

onto a document Drag the layer

thumbnail from the Layers panel into

the document window of the second

document

Removing the Excess

If you're dragging a layer from a document that contains more pixels than the document you're moving it into, the areas of the image out-side the viewable area of the document are still there, taking up file space To delete them, first position the image exactly where you want, click the Select menu, and then click Select All Select the Image menu, and then click Crop That's it All the image information outside the viewable window is removed

Notes can be found everywhere—you see them stuck to the side of refrigerators, bulletin boards, and even covering your computer moni-tor Notes remind you of important tasks and events When you work in Photoshop, the ability to save notes can help you remember an impor-tant part of the design, or they can instruct another designer in the how's and why's of your document For example, you can attach spe-cific instructions in the form of Photoshop Notes to your service bureau

on the printing of a document to obtain the best output Text input is done through the Notes panel When you place a note, it

doesn’t become part of the image, but it is saved with the image
