- The Magnify Tool is used to change the zoom level of your working image.
- If you only click on the image, the zoom is applied to the whole image.
- 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
- “<span class="quote">Allow window resizing</span>”
- option is unchecked: you can see that the content of this rectangle will
- be enlarged or reduced so that its biggest dimension fit the corresponding
- dimension of the image window (if the biggest dimension of the rectangle
- is width, then it will fit the width of the image window).
