magnification. This can be helpful when using smaller monitors or working with tiled views.

Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Photoshop
> Preferences > General (Mac OS), then select the Zoom Resizes
Windows preference and click OK.

the image resolution).
Fit an image to the screen
❖ Do one of the following:
• Double-click the Hand tool in the toolbox.
