OK. We're going to have a look at Zoom Out now, which is opposite partner of Zoom In. I'm going to utilize Zoom In first to demonstrate how Zoom Out works. This also works the opposite way, vice versa as well. So, let's do Zoom In. I'm going to Zoom In once. That makes everything twice as big. I'm going to Zoom In again, which makes everything twice as big again. So now, like before, we're losing the detail of the drawing, but instead of using Zoom Previous, if I now utilize Zoom Out it cancels out the Zoom In. Now the reason for that is, is the Zoom Out basically decreases the magnification by a factor of 2. So, what I'm trying to get across here is, when you Zoom In you're making everything twice as big. When you Zoom Out you're making everything half size. So what you're doing there is, in essence, canceling each other out. Times 2, times it by half, it will bring you back to the original value, because 2 times a half is 1. Half times a 2 is 1. So, no matter which way you go they will cancel each other out, unless, of course, you do 56 Zoom Ins and then only do 54 Zoom Outs. Then they won't cancel each other out. But the benefit there is you know that if you do a Zoom In and then do some detailing work and then do a Zoom Out, you'll know that you're back to the original magnification that you had before you did the Zoom In and the Edits. So, Zoom In and Zoom Out, again, useful tools just for quickly zooming in just that little bit more so that you can see the detail of your drawing to do some editing.
