This is another one that a lot of people will already know but worth a share.

Holding Ctrl/Cmd and pressing the + button will zoom into your image

Holding Ctrl/Cmd and pressing the - button will zoom our of your image

Holding Ctrl/Cmd and pressing 1 will zoom into your image 100%

This next one is one I find really useful and not too sure if many people will use it as it involves having the show transform controls checked, which from watching many tutorials over the years it seems like a lot of people don't have it checked.

Hold Ctrl/Cmd and press 0 this will then zoom out to the entire bounds of the image

If you do this without show transform control checked it will only zoom out to the canvas size rather than anything that overlaps the canvas.

Did not know that having transform controls checked made a difference.

I only found this out as I always have the transform controls on and when I unchecked them I noticed it didn’t zoom to the bounds of the image and I was confused :lol:
