Hello Jan.cosmigo if there were some way to fine tune the magnification. Something of much smaller increments of the canvas so you could see what you are doing that would be awesome. let me illustrate
first the image is too small can’t see what you are doing
.
So naturally you magnify it but there still is a problem now you can’t see the whole image
I understand and can respect why the magnifier jumps but if there were a slider off to the side that would allow the user to fine tune the magnification as said above much smaller increments that would be awesome.
Thanks for all of your help in the past and any help is greatly appreciated.
I strongly second this. Some way to do precision magnification would help.
Using the magnification tool, 33% > 50% > x1 > x2 > x3 are great templates when doing large images. But doesn’t quite fit the needs when doing small ones, or some obscure canvas size.
I guess this is an issue for us who’re still using HD wide monitors.
Not to take away from what cageburner has written but adding to it.I feel the best way to do this is by not only adding a slider but also adding a keystroke. This is the way it could work. First you use the mouse wheel to get the general magnification once the user has that he or she could possibly hold down a hotkey like shift or alt or something then when the user rolls the mouse wheel while holding down on the hotkey the program fine tunes the magnification. So there you have it the standerd magnification is accessed through the mouse wheel and fine tuning it could be through the mouse wheel and hotkey.
I’m not sure if I fully understood. Which level of fine tuning is wanted?
30% > 40% > 50 %…
and/or
1x, 1,1x, 1,2x… ?
Hold Ctrl + Space, click and move left and right. This will give you relative zoom. I could make this to go in a full linear way like 30%/40%/50%… 1x, 2x… with no jumps. Would this make sense?
To answer your question Jan,cosmigo both levels are wanted but not at the same time first use 1x,1,2x ect by rolling the mouse wheel. then fine tune it by holding down a modifier key and still rolling the mouse wheel. I would like to suggest would the fine tune be ridiculous by 2s 32% 34% #36% and so on make it jump by 2 or if you like better 5s .
I think the fine tune interval is personal to each user
