![]() All right, now let's say you want to zoom out. ![]() And so notice this very light grid that surrounds each and every pixel inside the image. So anything beyond 500% on a low rate screen, or anything beyond 800% on the high DPI, or retina display device. Now, if I zoom in any farther on this particular screen then I'm going to see the pixel grid. And so notice as I continue to zoom in that X is growing bigger and blockier as well, and that's because there is no additional resolution beyond a 100% view size. But the thing is, if I were to press control plus or command plus on the Mac, notice I've now zoomed to 200%, at which point we're just seeing bigger blockier pixels. That X is going to grow as I zoom farther in. Now, I want you to notice that I've added a little brown X, right there at the center of the image. So in other words, this is always going to be the most accurate view of the image. And then I'll go ahead and press control plus or command plus one more time, at which point the zoom ratio is a 100% meaning that we're seeing one image pixel for every screen pixel. So in any block of nine image pixels, we're seeing a block of four. That means we're seeing two of the three horizontal pixels and two of the three vertical pixels. All right, now I'll press control plus or command plus again, at which point we're seeing the image at 66.7%. At which point we're seeing one out of two pixels horizontally, one at a two pixels vertically, and so each screen pixel is a blend of four image pixels. If I press control plus or command plus again, we zoom in to 50%. So in other words, one out of every nine pixels. So in other words, we're seeing one out of every three pixels horizontally, and one out of three pixels vertically. And notice that zooms me in incrementally, and so now up here in the title tab, I can see that the zoom ratio is 33.3%. And so I'll just go ahead and take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, by once again pressing control plus, or command plus on a Mac. And if you're working with the US keyboard, that's going to be the same key that includes the equal sign. ![]() Which is control plus here on our PC, or command plus on the Mac. But this is the kind of thing you'll be doing so frequently in Photoshop, that you want to remember a basic shortcut. Now, if I wanted to zoom in, I'd go up to the view menu and choose a zoom in command. So in any of these pixels, in her hair, for example, each screen pixel is a blend of 16 neighboring pixels. So in other words, we're seeing one out of every 16 pixels. In fact, we're seeing one out of every four pixels horizontally, and one out of four vertically. Now that may lead you to believe that we're seeing one out of every four pixels. ![]() For you it's going to be something higher because you're working on a larger display. Now, if you take a look up here in the title tab, you'll see the zoom ratio is 25%. Which is the four walls of the rectangular image, and this dark area outside the canvas which is generally known as the pace board. We're looking at a stock image from the Dreams Time Image Library, about which you can learn more and get some great deals And I noticed when you first opened an image, Photoshop zooms you out so you can see the entire thing, including the canvas. All right, I'm going to start things off by showing you how to zoom in and out in an image here inside Photoshop. ![]()
