The Image Editor window immediately opens and displays the image.
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 5-5 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
• Reposition the image by panning
