Answer:
How to Zoom In and Out of Images in Photoshop Elements 9
Explanation:
Zooming in and out of images in Photoshop Elements is a task you perform routinely while editing images in the image window, and also when working in other windows, such as the Camera Raw window and the Full Screen view. Zooming in is necessary when you want to precisely edit or view a section of an image. You then need to zoom out to compare the edits to the entire image.
Zoom by clicking
The Zoom tool appears on the Tools panel. To use this tool for zooming in and out, follow these steps:
Click the Zoom tool on the Tools panel (or press Z).
Move the cursor, now loaded with the Zoom tool, to the image window and click the place where you want to zoom in.
To zoom in more, click again; keep clicking until you zoom in far enough.
To zoom out of an image, keep the Zoom tool selected, hold down the Alt key (Option key on the Macintosh), and click.
The cursor changes to a magnifying glass tool with a minus (-) symbol when you hold down the Alt key (Option key on the Macintosh).
