Moving around the screen Zoom –There are multiple ways to zoom in and out on a picture: 1.Use zoom on the View menu 2.Use the zoom tool button (Can sweep an area to zoom in on) 3.Hit CNTL+/CNTL-/CNTL0

Moving Around the Screen Hand tool –Use the hand tool to grab and drag the screen around

Summary Photoshop calls parts of the screen “panels” not tool bars, etc. Toolbar has hidden tools which maybe selected by clicking and holding a tool button. Use zoom and the hand tool to navigate to the part of the image you wish to work with
