Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts
Following is a list of keyboard and mouse actions that are specialized to Zerene Stacker's operation.
At all times when images are showing and the cursor is positioned over an image:
| Input 1 | Input 2 | Action |
|---|---|---|
| spacebar | pressing and holding the spacebar enters XY navigation mode, then: | |
| mouse drag | pans the image | |
| mouse wheel | zooms the image | |
| “[” and “]” | zoom the image | |
| “{” and “}” | zoom the image (alternates for “[” and “]”) | |
| “8” and “9” | zoom the image (alternates for “[” and “]”) | |
| shift key | pressing and holding the shift key enters depth navigation mode, then: | |
| mouse drag up/down | moves up/down arbitrary amounts within the stack | |
| mouse wheel | moves up/down by one frame within the stack | |
| up/down arrow keys | move by one frame within the stack |
Also:
- Press-and-drag within the list of input files will move quickly through the list (depth navigation).
While retouching only, and cursor is positioned over an image:
| Input 1 | Input 2 | Action |
|---|---|---|
| “s” | flashes between master and source (press to show source, release to show master) | |
| alt key | same as “s”, flashes between master and source (press to show source, release to show master) | |
| mouse wheel | changes size of the retouching brush | |
| “[” “]” | changes size of the retouching brush | |
| “{” “}” | changes size of the retouching brush (alternates for “[” and “]”) | |
| “8” “9” | changes size of the retouching brush (alternates for “[” and “]”) | |
| shift key | pressing and holding the shift key enters depth navigation mode, then: | |
| mouse drag up/down | moves up/down arbitrary amounts within the stack | |
| mouse wheel | moves up/down by one frame within the stack | |
| up/down arrow keys | move by one frame within the stack | |
| ctrl-Z | undo edit | |
| ctrl-Y | redo edit |
The shift and “s” keys can be combined, to show source in the master window while also doing depth navigation. For example holding down both shift and “s” while press-and-dragging the mouse up and down will scroll in depth while showing you the currently selected image in the master window.
Note: When depth navigating, be sure to keep the shift key depressed until you have selected the image you want to use for source. Whenever you release the shift key, there will be a significant pause while the program prepares the currently selected image for use in retouching.
