![[Zoom Tool]](zoom_tool.gif)
As you might imagine, the zoom tool
allows you to zoom in on the image to get a better idea of the actual pixel
makeup of a section you are working on. It is fairly easy to use the tool.
You simply click on the zoom icon and then click on the canvas.
The canvas will zoom one step for each
mouse click. Thus, if you click two times, the image will zoom
to a 3 to 1 aspect ratio. You'll see things much more clearly.

Zoom state is recorded in the title bar of
the canvas window and to return to a zoom ratio of 1:1 you simply double
click the zoom tool icon in the toolbox or use the Zoom 1:1 button
in the Zoom options palette.

| Don't get confused between zooming and scaling.
When You zoom an image, it is only zoomed from your perspective. You
have not changed the image at all. If you copy a zoomed image and
paste it onto another canvas, it will be pasted in its 1:1 size. If
you wish to actually scale an image larger, you should use the menu
item Image and choose the "Effects --> Scale" option
