Magnify Tool
e preview may be enlarged (“zoomed in”) by selecting the Magnify tool from the top set of
buttons or by pressing and holding the Command key
(Control key in Windows) and clicking in
the preview at the point of interest. e cursor icon will change to a magnifying glass with a plus sign
( ) in the center to indicate an enlarging function. e preview will be enlarged in size horizontally
and vertically to the next higher magnification for each click of the Magnify tool. e enlarged area
will be centered on the location of the Magnify tool. e prescan also may be zoomed in by holding
down the Command key
(Control key in Windows) and then pressing the equals key . Each
Command-equals (Control-equals in Windows) will zoom the image to the next higher mag-
nification. e magnification sequence is:
1%, 3%, 5%, 6%, 8%, 17%, 25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 600%,
800%, 1200%, 1600%.
e preview may be reduced (“zoomed out”) by holding down the Option key while clicking on
the preview image with the Magnify tool or by holding down the Option key when any other tool
-
bar tool is in effect. e center of the Magnify tool icon changes to a minus sign (
) to indicate the
reduction function. Holding down the Command key
(Control key in Windows) and pressing
the minus key will also zoom out the prescan to the next lower factor. As the prescan is zoomed,
either in or out, the current magnification percentage will be displayed in the status bar under the
prescan frame area. e minimum magnification is 1% and the maximum is 1600%.
e preview image is displayed by default at the highest magnification (up to 100%) that
will allow the entire preview image to be viewed in the window. e best visual results will
be when the image is shown at 100%. Since the preview image is a small file size you will
see pixelation at a 200% magnification and above.
Hand Tool
e magnified preview may be moved around by using the Hand tool from the top set of but-
tons. Pressing and holding down the mouse button and moving the mouse while the Hand tool is in
the preview area will scroll the preview. e Hand tool may also be activated by pressing and holding
down the space bar while the mouse cursor is in the preview image. e cursor will change to a hand
icon to signify the Hand tool is active as long as the space bar is depressed. When the space bar is
released the cursor will change back to the previous tool.
