A hodgepodge of functions is sprinkled throughout the View menu. Some of them, like Proof Setup, Proof Colors, and Gamut Warning, won’t trouble you until you’ve become a fairly advanced Photoshop user.
If you prefer using the View menu instead of the Zoom tool, you’ll find various commands to zoom into and out of the image. You can also choose your screen mode, which lets you view your image full screen with the menu bar and palettes, or full screen with just palettes. From the View menu, you can select which extras Photoshop displays. You can choose to see (or hide) the following:
-->Selection Edges: Moving lines that define the boundary of a selection and are very useful for obvious reasons.
-->Target Path: Lines and curves that define a shape or are used to select part of an image. You definitely want to see them if they need editing.
-->Grids and Guides: Lines that display on screen and are great when you’re aligning selections, objects, or other components, and potentially distracting when you’re not.
-->Slices: Rectangular pieces of an image to which you can optimize or apply Web features. If you’ve sliced the image, you probably want to view the results.
-->Annotations: On-screen notes and audio annotations that you can create and view (or play). Annotations can sometimes be confusing, unless you’re already confused; then annotations can help you sort out what’s what.
The View menu holds the controls for turning on and off the snap feature in Photoshop. (The snap feature makes objects magnetically attracted to grids and guides.) You can also create new guides, lock and clear slices (see Book IX, Chapter 3, for slice-and-dice information), and turn rulers on or off.
Some functions, especially the zoom features, are better accessed through tools or keyboard shortcuts. Trust me, when you’ve learned to zoom in and out by pressing Ctrl++ (Ô++ [plus sign] on the Mac) and Ctrl+– (Ô+–[minus sign] on the Mac), you won’t be spending a lot of time in this menu searching for those functions.
