The Tools panel the long, narrow panel on the far left side of the work area contains selection tools, painting and editing tools, foreground and background color selection boxes, and viewing tools. In Photoshop Extended, it also includes 3D tools.
Let’s start by using the Zoom tool.
Step 1:
Click the double-arrow button just above the Tools panel to toggle to a double column view. Click the arrow again to return to a single-column Tools panel and use your screen space more efficiently.
Step 2:Examine the status bar at the bottom of the work area (Windows) or image window (Mac OS), and notice the percentage listed on the far left. This represents the current enlargement view of the image, or zoom level.
Step 3:Move the pointer over the Tools panel and hover it over the magnifying-glass icon until a tool tip appears. The tool tip displays the tool’s name (Zoom tool) and keyboard shortcut (Z).
Step 4:Click the Zoom tool in the Tools panel or press Z to select it.
Step 5:
Move the pointer over the image window. The pointer now looks like a tiny magnifying glass with a plus sign (+) in the center of the glass.
Step 6:Click anywhere in the image window. The image enlarges to a preset percentage level, which replaces the previous value in the status bar. The location you clicked when you used the Zoom tool is centered in the enlarged view. If you click again, the zoom advances to the next preset level, up to a maximum of 3200%.
Step 7:
Using the Zoom tool, drag a rectangle to enclose the area of the image that includes the headlight.
The image enlarges so that the area you enclosed in your rectangle now fills the entire image window. You have now used three methods with the Zoom tool to change the magnification in the image window: clicking, holding down a keyboard modifier while clicking,and dragging to define a magnification area. Many of the other tools in the Tools panel can be used with keyboard combinations, as well.
