Zoom Tool (Magnify Tool)



The Magnify Tool is used to change the zoom level of your working image. I want to know what that "Auto-resize window" box does, let's check it out!

"But you can also click-and-drag the mouse pointer to create a zoom rectangle. Then, the action of this rectangle is better understood if the "Allow window resizing" option is unchecked"
See if I can say this in Midwest speak ;-)
When the "Auto-resize window is checked and you click on the image then the whole image is zoomed or magnified.
When the "Auto-resize window" is not check and you click and drag your cursor you will create a box and that area only is magnified and fills the window box that you started with.

I learned something today, it is a good day then! http://home.mchsi.com/~gjs_webpage/gj_logo2.jpg

Thanks for clearing up the Auto-resize function. I couldnt figure it out either watching the vid.

Your welcomed, my problem is remembering these things! That is why I created the menu, so that I can easily revisit each tool as needed.
