Virtual Magnifying Glass On My Monitor

Hi This little pop up magnifying glass is really nice.
It's a free little program that can be downloaded and installed.
It gives you a neat virtual magnifying glass to be used on any photo.
I even use it, if the print is too small to read.
For the link, just google search for Virtual Magnifying Glass.

If you use FastStone Viewer, you get that for free, along with all the basic editing options

On windows 7 you can magnify some by clicking on 100% in lower right hand corner.[quote=donrent][quote=arphot]I don't know if its the same sort of thing but Windows already comes with a magnifier ;)[/quote

The one in windows robs you of your monitor or at least it did when I first tried it years ago. The virtual one that you can down load will cover the whole monitor or just a small portion and you have your choice of 2x,3x,4x. I use it every day. The best part is that it is free

For many things including this page just hold down the Ctrl and tap the +. And ctrl- will do the opposite.

Works fantastic on Vista :)
I think Virtual Magnifier still has it's place for being quick and like a spot magnifier. I keep it on the task bar.
