By default, images that you open in Corel PaintShop Pro appear at a magnification level that allows the full image to appear in the workspace. You can zoom in to get a closer look at image detail or zoom out to view a larger portion of the image. You can also magnify a specific area of an image.
You can view image areas that fall outside the current image window. For example, when you are working at a high magnification level, you can pan or jump to a different image area without having to adjust the magnification level. When an image is too large to fit within its window, scroll bars appear on the bottom and right sides of the image.
You can use the Zoom tool to magnify your image (left) or you can use the Magnifier command to view a specific area without changing the magnification of the image (right).
