Layer Zooming
You can zoom in on any layer, enabling you to see the icons more clearly. To do this click
the up or down arrow on the left side of the layer window. Click the UP arrow to make
all the icons larger (zoom in); click the down arrow to make them smaller (zoom out).
Clicking the down arrow when the shot icons are in their smallest state causes the layer
window to become hidden.
To show a layer window, click the side arrow that is displayed.

Command+G keys.
