Normally I use the keyboard shortcut (space bar) to move around, but when I'm using certain tools it won't allow me to, so that's when I utilize the Navigator panel. Additionally, you can move around the image once it's zoomed. The zoom feature in the navigator panel gives you the same ratios as in the toolbar, just in a different location. If your tool bar is missing in the Develop module, simply click the 't' key on your keyboard and it will reappear. I've found that the zoom tool often seems to be missing from users' tool bars (for whatever reason) but you can add it to your toolbar by clicking the triangle to the far right and clicking on the word Zoom. WithВ the zoom tool in the toolbar, not only can you zoom in just a bit, but you can also pick an exact ratio to go to, like 3:1 (super zoom). The keyboard shortcut is my go-to method of zooming, but sometimes it will stop just shy of the 3:1 ratio (the largest zoom), which is why I am sharing the other two methods. If your first zoom doesn't get you to the magnification you desire, just do it again it will zoom in closer in each time. To zoom out simply use the CTRL/CMD and the - keys. To zoom in quickly and easily you can use this handy keyboard shortcut: CTRL and + key (PC) orВ CMD and + key (Mac). **If you want just a quick zoom in, one that isn't super close, you can click your mouse in the image, as long as you are not using a tool like the adjustment brush or clone/heal tool.

The Keyboard Shortcut Method (my go-to).

In Lightroom, there are three main ways you can zoom in: WhenВ editing an image in the Lightroom Develop module you may often need to move in much closer (zoom in) to see a particular detail.
