OK, so we have covered every tool on this tool palate except for one which is the zoom tool. And you've seen me use it throughout. When, when you click on the zoom tool you get these two options down here. Zoom in and zoom out. But I, again I never use these options. What I do is when you click, when you click on the zoom tool by default I believe, it gives you the zoom in or enlarge option. If you hold down the Alt or Option key, on the Mac I believe it's the Option key or Alt on the PC as well, it gives you the zoom out. So you can zoom in, zoom out and around with those three keys, space bar, option and you're clicking the mouse you're able to navigate pretty quickly, you know, around your work flow. So that's zoom in, zoom out. That's pretty much covered all of our tools. In the next video we're going to move on to a different. Oh before we do, there's one more option that I haven't shown you. We've got obviously our stroke color and our fill color and right here we have the ability to swap colors. We have that in PhotoShop as I think Illustrator as well, but that's just a nice way. And here we have the ability to say we want nothing in the fill or nothing in stroke. So, those additional options and that about wraps up the tool bar.
