Dual View The Same Image in PhotoShop

I usually work with some specific area of bimbo doll zoomed in close. It is much easier especially when you are adding those small finishing touches. But the trouble is, when you are zoomed in so close, you can not judge how effective those changes are.

So my work process was: zoom in, add a couple of details, zoom out to the 100% image size to judge the result, zoom back in to fix something, zoom out.... back and forth... it was very frustrating.
But now I have found much better and easier way - I just open the same image in two windows, each set to different zoom level.



The Best thing is - both windows are showing the same photo, anything you do in one of them will be instantly reflected in the other.

How to do this? Very easily.

First, open a second view of the image in a separate document window. To do that, simply go up to the Window menu at the top of the screen and choose Arrange. You'll see an option called New Window for, followed by the name of the image you currently have open.


This opens the exact same image in a new tab. But we want to see them both at the same time, so go up to the Application Bar at the top of the screen, click on the Arrange Documents icon, then click on the 2 Up two column document layout:


You should now see both document windows side by side showing the exact same image.


I usually leave left image at 100% pixel size and zoom in the right image. Also, you can move the diving border to give the your details working space more room. :)
