View Menu
This menu's commands let you choose different ways to see your image onscreen. For more details on adjusting your view, see Zooming and Repositioning Your View.
New Window for…
This command lets you create a duplicate window for your image so you can see it at two different magnification levels at once. The new window goes away when you close your image—it doesn't create a copy of your photo.
Zoom In
To increase the view size, you can choose this menu item or press Ctrl+=. You can also use the Zoom tool (The Zoom Tool).
Zoom Out
To reduce the view size, choose this menu item or press Ctrl+–. You can also use the Zoom tool (The Zoom Tool).
Fit on Screen
Use this command or press Ctrl+0 (that's the number zero, not the letter O) to make your photo as large as it can be without your having to scroll to see parts of it.
Actual Pixels
Choose this option or press Ctrl+1 to see your image in the exact size it would appear on the Web or in other programs that can't adjust view size like Elements can.
Print Size
Elements makes its best guess as to how large your image would print at its current resolution (Resizing for Printing).
Selection
When this menu item is turned on, the outlines of your selections are visible. You can toggle the setting off and on here, or by pressing Ctrl+H.
Rulers
If you want to see rulers around the edges of your image window, toggle them on and off here, or by pressing Shift+Ctrl+R. You can adjust the unit of measurement in Edit → Preferences → Units & Rulers.
