Navigating

Panning can be done by dragging with MMB.

Zooming can be done using Wheel or NumpadPlus/NumpadMinus.

Gizmos

Next to the Sidebar region at the top, there are gizmos that allow panning and zooming more comfortably when e.g. no mouse wheel is available.

View Menu

Region Controls

Adjust which regions are visible in the Image editor.

Update Automatically

Instantly update any other editors that are affected by changes in this Image Editor. When disabled, the other editors may display outdated information until they’re manually refreshed (e.g. by orbiting for the 3D Viewport).

Show Metadata

Displays metadata about the selected Render Result. See the Output tab’s Metadata panel to change what metadata to include.

Display Texture Paint UVs

Toggles UVs in Paint Mode. The object must be in Texture Paint Mode or Edit Mode for the UVs to be visible.

Zoom In/Out Wheel
