Ctrl+Alt+arrow, huh? I'll have to try that. Alleycat, actually, I only use the pan when I'm actually on the render of the image. While I work in 1024x768, I render it larger, setting the document settings to 3072x2304. That way when I get into a paint program, I can make it smaller with a higher dpi without losing much. I always use the controls you circled when on placing things. Thanks
