Moving around an image

[Kim]

How do you move around a zoomed (up close) image where part of it is off the screen while in the middle of selecting it ?

Thanks,
Kim

Hello Kim,

Two choices:

1) center the image so you have constant view of area, or
2) Depress the spacebar and hold it down while moving mouse or finger/pen over pad. the pointer will change into a hand and enable you to continue without interruption,

Some other options:

The navigation palette (drag the little red square)
Pageup/pagedown and add Ctrl for sideways (I think it's Ctrl, might be one of the other modifier keys)

Hi Sean2 & Doug, how are you doing ?

I don't know how 1) works but I tried 2) and it works fine, exactly what I'd like to do
I assume with 1) method, before I do my selection, I have to zoom it out so the whole image fits on the screen (that way I don't have to worry about moving around) ?

Hi Doug,
While I'm in the middle of selecting my image using my mouse, I can't access the Navigator window to move that little red square . I tried PageUp/PageDown (with or without the Ctrl) and it doesn't seem to work

Maybe # 2) option Sean2 mentioned above is the only option

Thankss

I should read more carefully

Hi Kim,

Along with using the space bar to move the image around you can also:

press the space bar plus the alt/option key to zoom out.
press the space bar plus the command/control key to zoom in.
