Apple Macintosh PhotoFlash - Manual (Page 42)

Magnifying or reducing an image
You can use either the Zoom tool (in the Tool palette) or the Zoom command
(in the window menu) to magnify or reduce an image.
Using the Zoom tool
To magnify or reduce an image by using the Zoom tool, follow these steps:
1 Click the Zoom tool (in the top right corner of the Tool palette) to select it.
If you can’t see the Tool palette, choose Show Tool Palette from the
Window menu.
2 Move the pointer over the image you want to magnify or reduce.
The pointer changes to the Zoom icon with a plus (+) sign inside it.
3 To magnify the image, click within the image window while the Zoom icon contains a
plus sign (+).
PhotoFlash enlarges the image, centering the enlargement on the place
you clicked.
4 To reduce the image, hold down the Option key and click in the image window.
PhotoFlash reduces the image, centering the reduced area on the place
you clicked.
When you hold down the Option key, the plus (+) sign inside the Zoom tool
pointer changes to a minus (–) sign, and clicking on an image reduces it
instead of enlarging it.
Each click of the Zoom tool enlarges or reduces the image by a factor of 2.
The maximum enlargement is 6400%, and the maximum reduction is 1.6%.
5 To return the image to its original size, move the pointer over the Tool palette and
double-click the Zoom tool.
