Panning a magnified image
In the ACDSee Viewer, you can pan large images by moving them vertically, horizontally, and

• Drag the image to center the area you want to view.
• Press an arrow key. You can hold the Ctrl key to pan quickly, or hold the Shift key to pan
more slowly.
You can use the Pan Lock setting to automatically center the same area of a series of larger images in
the Viewer window.
To use Pan Lock:
1 In the Viewer, pan over a large image to a specific area you want to view.
2 Using the Zoom menu, zoom in on the image until you reach the magnification you want to use
for all of your images.
3Click Zoom | Zoom Lock to keep the current zoom level.
4Click Zoom | Pan Lock.
As you move through your images, each one will be automatically zoomed and panned to the same
area.
