Working with One Image in Multiple Windows
There are times when you're working on an image in Photoshop, and you need to see two separate views of the image. For example, you're working on retouching a photo and you need a zoomed in view to do fine detail work. At the same time, you want to see a normal view to get an idea of how the retouching is affecting the normal-sized image. Being able to view one image at two different views is a valuable tool.
