Move Zoomed Image While Processing It


Recommended Posts

I noticed in the tutorial videos, the person moves a zoomed image around the screen while processing, e.g. working on a layer, adding a layer, adding a filter, etc., When I try this, I have to click the Hand icon to move the image and that deselects the tool, e.g. Selection Brush tool, I was using. This makes using the Selection Brush tool on a zoomed in image file tedious.

 

How do I move around a zoomed image without clicking the Hand icon so I can continue using my desired tool, e.g. Selection Brush tool? :)

 

(I'm a newbie, but having fun and find this generally much easier to learn than PS.)

Hold down the spacebar to temporarily toggle between the current tool & the Hand tool. When you release the spacebar, the previous tool is in effect again.
