Zoom and Scroll Mode
You turn on the Zoom and Scroll mode by clicking the button on the main tool bar. If no transformation is active, Zoom and Scroll is the default mode you will normally use most of the time.
In Zoom and Scroll mode, clicking and dragging changes the cursor to a hand and scrolls the underlying image in the direction you drag it.
The mouse scroll wheel zooms the image in or out. When zooming in with the mouse wheel, it centers the part of the image at the cursor location, within the limits of the scroll bars.
Tips
Holding down the Alt key while dragging or using the mouse scroll wheel always activates Zoom and Scroll mode, regardless of what other mode is currently active. You can also scroll by holding the Alt key down and using the arrow keys.
