Performancing Metrics  OS X Quick Tip: ZOOM in and out of OS X
quicktip1.jpgOne cool OS X tip that not everyone seems to be
aware of is its zooming capabilities. You can actually zoom into
your screen in the same way you can zoom into documents in
Photoshop or any Word Processor. There are two different ways to
do it.  If you’re using a Macbook or Macbook Pro you can can
simply hold CTRL then use two finger scrolling on your trackpad.
This also works if you have a scroll wheel on your mouse.  If
you’re on a desktop, you’ll need to go into System
Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and make sure
Zooming is checked. The default Zooming keys are:
Option/Command/= to zoom in Option/Command/- to zoom out     1.
This is not limited to just Photoshop and word processors; it’s
a function of the OS itself. (I think it was introduced back
around 10.4.7 or 10.4.8, correct me if I’m wrong.)      Instead
of going into System Preferences to check Zooming, you can press
âŒ¥âŒ˜8 (option-command-8).    2. @jtb
