Hi Guys,
I'm just wondering if it is possible to click on a button or some icon to be able to enlarge an image for a closer view during the voting process?
I don't know if this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find it?
I believe that it would be helpful to be able to pan around an image and, for example, check the eye for critical focus. . .
If this has been discussed before, could someone point me in the right direction and if it is, indeed, available, could someone point in the right direction?
Thanks Guys, and Mr Grumpy, if you happen to be tuned in,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

You can use your web browser's zoom capability to enlarge an image. You'll find this in the Options/Settings menu, via a small 3-dot or 3-bar icon at the right end of the browser's toolbar in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers. The Zoom setting in this menu has buttons to decrease or increase the zoom factor (up to 500% for Chrome, 1000% for Edge, 300% for Firefox). Some quick testing shows that this will (normally - I've seen different behaviour at times but can't reliably reproduce) only zoom an image until it fits within the browser window width, so your effective maximum zoom setting for an image is limited by your screen resolution.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Thanks Robert,
There was a picture that was certainly worthy of a second look but it was dark around the face and eyes and I was trying to enlarge it to see if the photog had indeed acquired correct focus or whether it was blurry.
Thank-you for your assistance,
Bruce
