While editing an image, you can adjust the magnification with the zoom controls, located in the bottom right corner.

Histogram	Displays the histogram preview for the current image. The histogram preview shows the red, green, and blue color channels of the photo. Keeping the histogram open is particularly useful when adjusting exposure, as the histogram reflects all adjustments as you make them. You can also display the Histogram as a separate window by selecting View, and then Histogram.
