Canvas Area

 

The large area shown in the screen-grab below and in the middle of your screen is the Canvas Area – and this is where all the creativity takes place. It is in the Canvas area that, using the Brush, you are able to draw, paint, edit and manipulate the image from the Palette on to your picture.

Images in the Canvas area displayed on a fit-to-view basis, but you can increase or decrease this using the Zoom Controller to be found to the left under the Tabs and Sources.

 

To move around the Canvas which, because you have zoomed in, is now larger than the Canvas area, press and hold the Spacebar whilst simultaneously left-clicking and holding the mouse.  The cursor will change to a Canvas Grabber and you can then slide the image around the Canvas.
