There will often be times when you want to zoom in on the canvas to see areas in more detail.
For instance, if you are working with very small frames, you will need to get closer to them to effectively use the handles and other features.
If you have a three-button mouse, you can do the following:
| • | Zoom: Roll the mouse wheel. |
| • | Pan: Press the middle mouse button (or wheel) and drag the mouse. |
If you prefer to work with the keyboard, you can do the following:
| • | Zoom: Tap the + and - keys on the numeric keypad. |
| • | Zoom: Hold down the Z key, press the left mouse button, and drag the mouse. |
| • | Pan: Hold down the Space bar, press the left mouse button, and drag the mouse. |
| • | Reset: Press Alt-A to frame the entire canvas. |
