Viewing images

The hand tool, the zoom tools, the Zoom
commands, and the Navigator palette let you view
different areas of an image at different magnifica-
tions. You can open additional windows to display
several views at once (such as different magnifica-
tions) of an image.

The document window is where your image
appears. You can open multiple windows to
display different views of the same file. A list of
open windows appears in the Window menu.
Available memory may limit the number of
windows per image.

position of the first window, you may have to move
the second window to view both simultaneously.

lower right of the screen.
