- The "Zoom" commands can be accessed from an image menubar,
- in the submenu
- <span class="guimenu">View</span>-><span class="guisubmenu">Zoom</span>.
- In GIMP 2.2, you can also zoom an image using the <a href="ch02s03s03.html#gimp-image-window-zoom">Zoom button</a> on the
- image window.
- Zooming means changing the magnification level of the
- image. Zooming in to an image is useful for pixel-level image
- modifications, and zooming out can be handy for working with
- broad effects. Note that zooming is not undoable, because it
- does not affect the image data, only the way it is displayed.
- </p>
- <p>
- Here are the available Zoom commands, along with their default
- keyboard shortcuts if any:
- </p>
- <div class="variablelist">
- <dl>
- <dt>
- <span class="term">Zoom Out</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- (Shortcut: <span><b class="keycap">-</b></span>) Each time "Zoom Out" is
- used, the zoom factor is decreased by about 30%. There is a
- minimum zoom level of 6%.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt>
- <span class="term">Zoom In</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- (Shortcut: <span><b class="keycap">+</b></span>)
- Each time Zoom In is used, the zoom level is increased by a
- factor of around 30%. The maximum possible zoom level is
- 1600%.

- <p>
- The keyboard shortcut for "Zoom In" has been a subject of some
- controversy, because this is a very commonly used operation, and
- on English keyboards it requires the Shift key to be pressed.
- (For European keyboards, it does not.) If you would like to have
- an easier shortcut, you can create a dynamic shortcut for it; see
- the help section for <a href="ch04s18s04.html" title="18.4. Interface">User
- Interface</a> Preferences for instructions.

- <dd>
- <p>
- (Shortcut:
- <span><b class="keycap">Shift</b></span>-<span><b class="keycap">Ctrl</b></span>-<span><b class="keycap">E</b></span>).
- This command zooms the image as large as possible while still
- keeping it completely within the window. Padding will
- probably show on two sides of the image, but not on all four
- sides.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt>
- <span class="term">Fit Image to Window</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- This command zooms the image as small as possible without
- requiring any padding to be shown: it causes the image to fit
- the window perfectly in one dimension, and extend beyond the
- window borders in the other dimension.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt>
- <span class="term">A:B</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- Here you have a series of menu entries for specific zoom levels,
- including, most importantly, the 100% zoom level, which has a
- simple keyboard shortcut: <span><b class="keycap">1</b></span>
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt>
- <span class="term">Other</span>
- </dt>
- <dd>
- <p>
- This command brings up a dialog that allows you to choose any
- zoom level you want, within the allowed limits of 6% to 1600%.
