Pardon me if I have missed this in any of the literature, but is there a way to zoom in on the background image (and pan around) specifically during the creation of a mask or matte object? Frequently I need to build mattes for photo-composities and my current process of trial-and-error is extremely tiring and non-exact. Thanks in advance.

I love these responses. Seriously. This way I get a chuckle and I no that that's the end of it. I will quit searching the depths of the manuals. Thanks.

Good idea and it's worth a try. Thanks.
