Hi I was wondering, when we have Display Navigation docked as one of our menus, when we zoom in on our canvas, it doesn't zoom in the navigation, but it does show a little preview... a square of how much, and where we have zoomed in on the canvas. The square has white borders, and anything outside the area of the zoom is darkened... almost barely visible. Although I don't mind the square, I was wondering, is there a way to disable the darkened area... the area outside of the zoom, so that only square zoom remains in the Display Navigation?

I want to record a speed painting video, and cause it's all speeded up, I wanna have a little preview that doesn't constantly jumps in and of the whole canvas (cause of zooming), hence the Display Navigation. But, at the same time, the darkening of the 'out of the focus' area, also makes the preview of the whole piece a bit... epilepsy educing. So, any tips on the removal of the darkened area whilst zooming in the Display Navigation?

Perhaps View > New View - it gives you a separate window showing the same image, which can be zoomed and scrolled independently. I think the Navigation Window is probably intended to highlight the area you're currently working on, to help find your way around when working on fine details of a large image.

Oh, I didn't know about the New View... but if I'm using Single-Window mode, is there a way to only 'undock' the new view, or is it only possible in a non Single-Window mode? With dual monitors I could put the window on the other one and just record that if I want. But can it be undocked? Or is that just for the tools?

Sorry, I've no idea about single-window mode. I assume the point of it is that you only have a single window so, if you want multiple windows, presumably the solution is to use multi-window mode? Then the two windows viewing the same image can be moved separately to wherever you want them.
