Hi

I dont think so. Ive tried cropping and using the zoom in crop but again it doesnt seem to save the zoomed image. In a nutshell I want to zoom into a particular part of a photo and then save it. Evrytime I do it though it just reverts back to the original pic and doesnt save the zoomed version.

Hoep this makes sense?

In iPhoto one can zoom while cropping.

To the OP: Crop what you want to see "zoomed" -- this will set the boundaries of the image. Then view your photos in either the magnified view or the edit view or as a slideshow. You can set how to activate the views in Prefs.

You can "up-size" the images (using another program) to make them bigger, but this is not likely to be worth the effort.

Do you mean crop?

When you crop a photo you can edit out the extraneous bits and this will appear to zoom into the picture.

As a zoom isn't an edit there is no way to save it.

Ahh ok. Thanks. So there is no way to zoom or enlarge pictures in a similar way to a digital camera and save that image? Thats a shame

You'll need to use the crop feature to crop that smaller portion of the photo the you see in the enlarged view. But you'll have to do it in the normal view. So it won't be exact.
