Embedded Pages: Creating, editing and previewing
Zooming in/out and repositioning the image
When editing an image, it is often necessary to view the image, or a portion of the image,
in greater detail. It is for this reason that the Image Editor allows you to magnify, or zoom in
on the image, as well as zoom out to get an expanded or distanced view of the image.
As figure 5-7 demonstrates, when an image is opened in the Image Editor it is placed
directly in the center of Editor’s canvas. However, when you zoom in on the image, you may
not see certain areas of the image. To reposition the image within the display, while
maintaining the zoom scale, you can pan across the image to the area that is otherwise
outside of the window’s display.
Instructions for zooming in/out and panning across the image are provided below.
•
“Zooming in/out” on page 5-8
• “Reposition the image by panning” on page 5-9

Zooming in/out
There are two (2) methods that you can use to zoom in on an image:
1.
The Image Editor’s Z OOM tool allows you to zoom in on a particular area on the image.
• Click the Z OOM button on the Image Editor’s toolbar.
Your pointer transforms into a magnifying glass.
• Click the part of the image that you want to zoom in on.
The Image Editor zooms in on the image in increments.
2. You can zoom in on the image using your mouse or keyboard. Note, however, that this
type of zoom operation zooms in on the center of the portion of the image that is
currently displayed. As a result, you may need to pan across the image to view a
particular area of interest (see figure
5-7 ).
• Roll the mouse wheel forward.
Or,
• click the + (plus) key on your keyboard’s number pad.
