Pan and Zoom

Pan and Zoom is the default tool that can be used to change the picture’s position and size by clicking and dragging it on the preview. When it is active, the right-side panel shows operations that are relevant for the active layer:

• For bitmap layers – a list of the filters that can be used on bitmap layers,
• Object layer – settings for the placed object – text, symbol, shape, or line,
• Adjustment layer – settings for the Adjustment Layer.

You can move the mouse over a picture’s preview to zoom in or out. Left-click to switch between the Zoom to Fit zoom level and 1:1 (100%) view. If a magnifying glass is shown instead of the mouse cursor, then clicking and holding the left mouse button will pan the image at 1:1 zoom; when the left mouse button is released, the picture returns to Zoom to Fit mode.

You can also zoom and pan the picture in the following ways:

• [Space] – temporarily switches into the above-described method for zooming and panning the image.
• Rotating the mouse wheel – zooms the picture in or out.
• Clicking the mouse wheel – pans the picture.

To change how the program behaves when you rotate the mouse wheel, click Preview Options and use the Mouse Wheel Action submenu. The mouse wheel can be set to either change the zoom level or switch pictures.
