Camera Raw Zoom

Zoom Tool

While in Camera Raw, you have a few options for zooming in and out to get a better look at the image you are working with. In this tutorial, we will go over those options.
As you can see here, the Zoom tool (magnifying glass) is selected and it is a standard tool for zooming in and out. However, there are some key commands that will make your life a lot easier and replace the Zoom tool.

Zooming In

To zoom in, try hitting the hotkeys: Apple/Command and + (shown as = sign here because it's the same key). This allows you to zoom into your image easily.

Zoom Level

You can keep zooming in this way till you get to %100 or even more. Towards the bottom left of the image you can see what your zoom level is set at. You can always change the zoom there aswell. Lets say you know you want to see it at %50, it gives you the option to do that.

Zooming Out

To zoom out, the hotkey command is Apple/Command and - .
This allows you to zoom out effortlessly.

Fit to View

Another great hotkey command is the Fit to View command: Apple/Command and 0
By doing this the image will automatically go from what ever percentage you were at, to a perfect percentage that allows you to see the entire image within your viewport.

These hotkeys can be extremely helpful and will speed up your workflow a great amount. Feel free to try these hotkeys while in Photoshop aswell to see similar results. One of my personal favorites is Apple/Command + alt + 0 .
