It may already be a feature that I haven't found-but it would be good if it were possible to click and enlarge the picture's when viewing.

I'd love to be able to actually enlarge the pictures' pixel counts, but that's beyond the technology for now.

You CAN enlarge your own VIEW of the pixels. (They'll get blurry if you do it too big.)

In Firefox browser, up along the top it says File, Edit, View etc.
Click View, and from the drop-down menu choose Zoom...
A little flyout menu will offer you Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Reset.

Notice also the keyboard shortcuts listed there ---
Holding down the Control key while clicking the + key (which is also the = key) zooms in closer.
Holding down the Control key while clicking the - key zooms out (things appear smaller and you get more at a time on your page... useful for Print Screen captures)
Holding down the Control key while clicking the zero returns it all to normal.

In MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) those same shortcuts work fine, altho the View menu doesn't usually show them.


I often draw at about 5 clicks magnification.

I use zoom at 200 % when I want to try and place pieces precisely..

umm.. I only ever work at the 'what you see is what you get level', so I have to redo lots of pieces, because something slips at the wrong moment, or I get a bit trigger happy..

..when I'm doing some more complicated overlaying, I try and lean back occasionally and get a more objective view of how straight the line is, or whatever, as otherwise my nose tends to get pretty close to the screen !

I didn't know we can zoom the whole web pages until now. Thank you Marg for asking and all for the answers. Very useful info!

In Internet Explorer go to Page. Choose Zoom. Then choose the percentage or go in or out one level at a time.

I use zoom when I'm trying to be precise and because I have a fairly small screen on my laptop.
