yea, i hate that! zooming out can be a real pain when there’s a huge difference in image sizes. i created an action to scale down to 25% for these times, but a shortcut would be really cool if anyone knows one!
good question doug!
Hold down the shift key to bring up the hand tool.
Bob
That would be the spacebar.
Bob
I would prefer not to move the entire image just to get to some far corner. I believe there is some shortcut,ctrl-alt something to make the transform fit in window, exposing the grey area outside the frame.
I have read the solution here before but cant find it in the searches.
Doug
Getting closer. That zooms the image all the way out. I would like to stay zoomed in. I am trying to line up two images precisely at 100%
Type in values in the option bar? long winded, but possible Nudge with arrow keys
Sven
I tried that and it dont work.
Just as a test, I made a selection.
free transform.
highlight top left corner in the options bar to the left of the x axis box. highlight x axis and use the arrows to nudge.
It moves the whole transform regardless of the corner that is highlighted, not just the one corner only.
Doug
I figured it out.
This is strange but it works. During the transform, if you switch the view from Standard Screen Mode to full screen mode, the space bar enables you to move the frame into the grey. Exactly what I needed.
only pressing the button on the menu bar works, not the F on the keyboard.
Is this mabye it some tips and tricks thread?, if not it should be.
Doug
that’s weird!
especially this part:
only pressing the button on the menu bar works, not the F on the keyboard.
I gotta try that when i get home!
