Adobe Photoshop Hand Tool
The Hand Tool is used to navigate to another area of an image when all of the pixels won't fit on the screen.
You select the hand tool (press h) and click on the image and drag to the location in the image that you want to be. You can press the space bar to activate the hand while any tool other than a type tool is activated.
You can acheive the same affect using the scrollbars located at the right and bottom of the image. However, the scrollbars only move in one dimension and the hand tool
can move in two dimensions at the same time.
When the hand tool is selected, the hand toolbar shows three buttons. The first button is used to view the image in actual pixel size.
The next button fits the image to the size of your screen. The third button will show you the image at the size it would be if it were to be printed.
All three of these options are available using the View menu, but using them as buttons on the toolbar makes it easier.
