I remember reading somewhere that two windows could be opened for the same document allowing one to be worked on while zoomed in and the 2nd would update to show the changes.
How do I open two windows of the same document?
This is a neat trick as it allows document to be worked on without continually zooming in and zooming out to see how it all looks.

Hello Randy,

Window > Arrange > New Window for "imagename"

Or – to keep it more compact – just stretch the Navigator palette

i’m not at my PS machine, but it should be window> duplicate or is that image> duplicate. either way the final command is called "duplicate". you can look it up in the help file (f1).

Andrei is right. Duplicate just makes a new file, and won’t do what the OP wants.

Andrei, that’s the ticket! I scanned through all the tool bar menus, or at least I thought I did and missed it … I’d read about this tip in Photoshop User and just couldn’t bear slogging through who knows how many issues to find it again!
Thanks for the help!
