A Common Set of Zoom and Pan Tools

There are many photograph magnification and panning tools in PhotoModeler. As a result it can be difficult to determine which are the best to use.

First of all, there is no right or wrong.  There are so many of these tools because people operate the program differently and have different tastes for keys vs. toolbars vs. right click menus etc.

A PhotoModeler expert might use this set of tools often:

+ key

F key

Fit toolbar button

Ctrl right mouse button

Mouse wheel

to make rapid changes in zoom level without a mode change

Zoom area toolbar

Ctrl left mouse button
