How to scroll through an image screen by screen
Scrolling through an image one screen at a time allows you to go through the whole image without missing any of it. This is really useful when you're cleaning a raster image, tidying a vector image or just checking results.
Zoom into the image so you can see enough detail to be able to clean the image or do whatever you need to do. When you zoom in, the right hand part of the screen may be gray. Press F on your keyboard to Fill the gray part of the screen with image.
Use the scroll bars to move to the top left corner of the image.
Press the Ctrl+Right Arrow keys to move one screen to the right.
Repeat Step 3 until you have moved, screen by screen, all the way across the image.
Now press the Ctrl+Down Arrow keys to move one screen down.
Use the Ctrl+Left Arrow keys to move one screen to the left.
Keep moving to the left until you have moved all the way across the image, then move down, then right, then down, then left, then down etc., until you have moved through the entire drawing.
