Cutting
To cut a selection from an image:

This completely erases the selection. You cannot paste a copy elsewhere.
Undoing an action

example, if you press the Delete key to delete a selection, you can restore
what you cut if the cut was the most recent editing action you took.

Zooming in and out
Sometimes you may need to work closely with an image or back away from it
to get an overview. A closer view makes it easier to work with details. A more
distant view makes it easier to work with an image as a whole.
To zoom into and out of an image:
1 Choose Zoom In or Zoom Out from the Image menu.
Zoom In
Takes you closer to the image; elements of the image appear larger.
Zoom Out
Takes you farther away from the image; elements of the image
appear smaller.
2 To return to a 100-percent view, choose Actual Size from the Image menu.
Changes you make with these commands don’t affect the size of the actual
image.
