Magnifying Specific Areas of an Image

You can view specific areas of an image at a higher magnification in the Magnifying Glass pane.

To Use the Magnifying Glass Pane:

  1. In View mode, click Panes | Magnifying Glass.
  2. Move the cursor over an area of the image to view that area in the Magnifying Glass pane.
  3. Change the Magnifying Glass pane settings by doing any of the following:
    • Move the slider at the bottom of the Magnifying Glass pane to increase or decrease the magnification.
    • Check the Fixed checkbox to apply the slider setting to the original size of the image. Uncheck the Fixed checkbox to apply the slider setting to the magnification of the zoomed image in View mode.
    • Check the Smooth checkbox to apply anti-aliasing to the magnified portion of the image, or uncheck the Smooth checkbox to view the individual pixels. Anti-aliasing reduces jagged-lines, also known as 'jaggies'.
