Photoshop Question

[Arsey]

When editing an image I need to scroll below the image but the scroll bar stops where the image stops. Without increasing the canvass size, how do I enable it to scroll below where the image stops? Here is a screenshot of the problem, I want to scroll lower than it will let me.

you need to unmaximize and zoom out

Temporarily enlarge canvas?

 

[Arsey]

If I zoom out then I wouldn't get close enough to the image to do minor tweaks and I don't want to enlarge the canvas because i want to crop certain parts of the photo out. I am trying to crop the bottom left of the photo out, where there is a white bit from a previous crop but cant get underneith it to select it. Any other suggestions?

press f and go through the options until one of them is the grey background and you can scrool around at your will

Cheers mindriot, I'll give this a go when I get home.

This works great mindriot but is there anyway to scroll around the canvas freely? I can only seem to scroll up and down using the mouse wheel.

press H and use the hand tool to move around ? Easiest option I've found when in the advanced mode

even easier is to just press space, then click and drag - that way you don't have to worry about changing tools

Also for easy zooming hold alt and scroll the mouse wheel

I never have to use the hand tool or the zoom tool (unless for a specific size eg. actual size)

Thanks guys, this is perfect, didn't even notice the hand tool was there
