Magnifying Glass

Clicking on the magnifying glass button changes the cursor to a magnifying glass and lets you easily zoom into the prescanned image in the Preview Window.

Simply place the magnifying glass over the portion of the picture you wish to have a close-up view of and click the left mouse button. You can then view the enlarged detail of the image proportionally. To zoom out, right click the mouse button.

To stop zooming in and out of the image, click on the Hand Tool button next to the Magnifying Glass.

The magnifying glass only affects the view of the prescanned image in the preview area and does not affect the scanning process or the final scanned image.   In other words, zooming in on an image will not make the scanned image larger. Adjusting the size of an image must be done by scaling it in an image-editing application. Make sure to scan the image at a sufficiently high resolution when planning to enlarge it, so there are enough pixels to maintain image integrity after the scaling process.
