You're watching VisiHow. In this tutorial, we're going to show you how you can zoom in and zoom out of an image in Photoshop CS6 in Windows 7.

1. 1
   To begin, we should have Photoshop open, and either create a new document or open an existing document

   .

   We've shown how to do that in other videos. We can see that we have a document open, indicated by the tab on the right. It has one layer on top of a background layer, which we can see on the right-hand side. This means that we can move the top layer around.

   We can also zoom in "Actual Pixels", "Fit Screen", "Fill Screen", or "Print Size"

   .

   We mostly use "Fit Screen". It makes it easier to work, and we can still see the entire canvas.
