‌Zooming and Panning in 2-D

The navigation modes described above correspond to physically moving or rotating the camera. Sometimes we wish to zoom into the image itself, as we can do with the camera view—which does not correspond to any camera motion at all.

You can zoom into the image by selecting the Zoom mouse mode, then dragging in the viewport (or in the button itself). Or, use right-drag to zoom as in the camera view. The Pan 2D mode then allows you to pan within the zoomed-in image.

A 2-D pan and 3-D pan can be very difficult to distinguish, and confusing.

Whenever the image has been zoomed into, SynthEyes displays a wide pinkish border around the entire image, and the normal Pan, Look, Orbit, and Dolly buttons are disabled. Clicking any of those buttons will reset the zoom so that the entire image is displayed. You can also reset the zoom by right-clicking the zoom button.
