Hand Tool
The Hand tool is definitely the most basic tool in Photoshop. By clicking and dragging with the Hand tool, you can scroll around the image. This tool is—excuse the pun—handy for scrolling around images that are too large to fit on your screen and for moving without the scrollbars. Because this tool is used so often, Adobe created a special way to get to it. While working with most of Photoshop's tools, if you press the spacebar, you will temporarily activate the Hand tool. When you release the spacebar, you'll be back to the tool you were using previously.
