I wtold how to do this about a year + ago, but have forgotten. How to select a small area of an image you are working on, then enlarge that small area to work on to one side, then resize it once done and the changes would be made to the big picture !
Trouble is, I know it can be done, ‘cos I was told how. But thanks to my flamin’ memory, its gone. Can anyone renew ?

What kind of changes are you talking about? Adjustment Layers? Filters? And why do you want to work this way? Perhaps I don’t get it, but I don’t see what good the smaller selection will do, when your applying the changes to the whole picture anyway.

I do know it is possible to show a duplicate view of your image. Perhaps that is what you want ? Then you can have the full (old) view on one side, and zoom in on the original on another.

Yes, you used to be able to select ‘New View’ from the ‘View’ menu…. But I look in CS today and, horror of horrors!, it’s not there any more. Anyone know where it went???

Don’t know about CS but in PS7 its Window > Documents > New Window.

Granted. But if its only a small section of a pic, and you blow the whole thing up 10 fold plus to get at it….bit pointless I’d have thought.

Well at least one person can see what I’m after without thinking I’m a little dilatory ! 😉
