Adobe Photoshop View Menu
This menu gives you all sorts of different ways of looking at your images, from zooming in or out to adding guides and rulers.
Available Submenu in View Menu
Proof Setup
Use the items in this submenu to create a proof, a sample version of your image that simulates what the finished piece will look like. You can simulate how your image’s colors will look on a Mac or PC monitor or in another color mode—even how a color-blind person would see them. This preview process, called soft proofing, is discussed in more detail in Proof Colors This option turns soft proofing on or off.
Gamut Warning
Turn this feature on to make Photoshop highlight areas of your image that fall outside of the safe color range, or gamut, for the color mode you’re working in.
Pixel Aspect Ratio
This item lets you change the shape of your image’s pixels for specific projects.
Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction
Turn this feature on when you’re working with pixels that aren’t square so your images don’t look stretched when you view them on your computer monitor.
32-bit Preview Options
Because the dynamic range in 32-bit HDR images is greater than the color range most monitors can display, this option compensates for washed-out highlights and overly dark shadows. To learn more about HDR photography.
