How do I quickly zoom a reference or preview window?

Double-tap the reference or preview window to snap it to the centre and cycle through preset zoom levels. Each tap moves through the available magnification options, making it easy to check details and return to a full composition view without dragging sliders manually.

How do I scale pixel art without blurring it?​

When you need to resize a sprite, tile, or UI element but want to keep the pixels sharp:

  1. Use a selection tool to isolate the pixels you want to scale.
  2. Start a free transform and drag a corner handle while holding Shift to enable proportional scaling.
  3. Watch the scale ratio overlay (for example 50%, 100%, 200%) as you drag.
  4. Let the transform snap to clean integer multiples, including 1/2, 1/3, 2x, 3x, and similar ratios.

Sticking to these snapped ratios avoids fractional resampling and keeps your pixel edges crisp, which is especially important for tilesets and character animations. For a full overview of transform controls, see the Transform selections guide.
