Zoom Tool

Select the Zoom tool and click on the preview image to zoom in.
Use option-click (Alt key) to zoom out. Remember, the preview image
is only a low-resolution image and will quickly pixilated when enlarged.

Grid Tool

Two different grids can be used to help align and measure the objects in
images. Click the Grid tool to turn the grid “on”. Double-click the tool to
toggle between the two types of grids and to set different grid options.

Exposure Warning Tool

This tool quickly shows which areas of the image are either over or under
exposed. Much like Photoshop’s “Gamut Warning” tool, when the
“Exposure Warning Tool” is activated a colored mask will be applied to
the image showing which areas of the image are above or below a set
exposure value. Double-click the tool icon to set the over and under
exposure values and to change the highlight colors.

Crop Mask Tool
When turned on, the Crop Mask tool will mask the area of the
preview image that is outside the selected crop area.
Double-clicking this tool allows you to set the color and opacity of
the crop mask. This tool is a useful feature when showing images
on-screen, as the cropped area is clearly shown.

Eyedropper

The Eyedropper tool is used to read the RGB values of a paticular area
of an image. Change the sample size by double clicking the tool icon.
The default size is a 5x5 pixel area.

This does not need to be changed, unless a reading from a smaller area
is required.
