I just cannot find the answer.

In my old ps6 when i was going to do some cloning etc. I would just open the Jpeg & use my mouse scroll to make it huge for some fine work.

What is that control in CS2 ?

    Speaking for myself, but having heard similar things from others: It pays HUGE dividends to learn the PS keyboard shortcuts; it speeds up processing by a significant margin.

    humungus, in CS, I use the navigator. It is over to the right, by the histogram and stuff, if it is in CS2.

    I just found it a few months ago. Does wonders for me. That key stuff drives me nuts, too. I am having enough trouble w/o learning a new language, or a third language for the PS language I am already having trouble with.

    Another way I find navigator is under the windows thing on the tool bar. It, navigator, has a slider, bigger, smaller. Then you can figure it out from there.

    If it is still in CS2.

    (and I wish people would take it under consideration that I don't know the codes for the keys. Some of the PS how to books do. And I know that control on mac is CTRL on windows.......... Also, my keyboard is not new, and it sticks, doesn't always do what it is supposed to. Other ways are more reliable.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Didja know that whilst zoomed in you can press the space bar to temporarily get the hand and you can drag the image without losing your tool? Meaning, as soon as you release the space bar, you go back to the tool you were using.

    Yes, the mouse is for ease of use, but keyboard shortcuts are for speed. If shortcuts are intimidating, you don't have to learn them all at once. Just notice which actions you do repetitively, learn a couple of those, and add a few more every other day or so. And if you really hate a shortcut, don't forget Photoshop has a keyboard shortcut editor so you can change the ones you don't like. Also if you want a shortcut reference, the shortcut editor can generate an HTML page you can bookmark, a list of whatever the current shortcuts are (in case you customized them). You can print that page if you are into paper.

    • Pressing Ctrl+Space while using the mouse gives you an instant "zoom rectangle".
    • To adjust zoom press Ctrl+"+" or Ctrl+ "-"
    • Ctrl+0 - fill the screen with the picture (if possible, it does not go above 100%)
    • Ctrl+Alt+0 - zoom to 100%

    For those of you who don't understand this strange language that Nikolai is speaking, no it's not Russian, it's a strange language called wind-doze.

    Anyway, for the Mac cognoscenti, when he says "control" he means command and the strange "alt" he refers to is the option key.

    Hope that cleared it up for you.

    You can still use your mouse scroll to enlarge. Go to EDIT>PREFERENCES>GENERAL and make sure that the check box "Zoom with scroll wheel" is checked.

    And if you don't have this preference checked, hold the ALT key with the scroll wheel, to zoom in and out.
