Zoom Tool and its use in Photoshop

The Zoom Tool changes the magnification of the document view so you can inspect small details or return to a wider view. Zooming changes only how large the image appears on screen; it does not resize the image itself.

Select the Zoom Tool

Select the Zoom Tool from the toolbar when you want to magnify or reduce the document view.
