Inspect a photograph and zoom in

What you will do

Section titled “What you will do”

Open a photograph in the large viewer and enlarge the area you need to judge, such as focus, eyes, or skin. When you are finished, you can keep the enlarged view, restore the initial framing, or return to the grid. Inspecting the photograph does not analyze or retouch it.

Scroll up over the photograph to zoom in, then double-click to restore the initial view. Here, 100% is the initial view, not a pixel-for-pixel scale. English interface · No audio.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”

In this viewer, 100% means the initial view; it does not confirm that one image pixel equals one screen pixel.

Once the detail is large enough to judge, the inspection is complete. The following actions are optional and depend on what you want to do next.

Restore the initial view

Section titled “Restore the initial view”

If you want to see the whole photograph again, double-click the enlarged photograph. The initial framing returns, and the indicator reads 100% again.
