Zooming a picture in a document.

Pages is a great app, but I don't see any way to zoom a photo in a document. Nor a way to open it in Preview without dragging it to the Preview app. I've tried all the options in Edit Mask like dragging the size to full. But that zooms the picture, but also other items on the page show faintly too through the picture. Also, the Edit Mask is confined by where you have the picture on the screen, Like if the picture is near the edge of the document then the Mask view is cut off.

As you know, normally in apps that include pictures, when you double click on them they open a big zoom window by itself.

Any help would really be appreciated.

There is no picture zoom feature in Pages v13 or in MS Word v16.72. Zoom works on the entire document view, not the image object. Use the Provide Pages Feedback menu item to directly communicate your wish list to the Pages product team. They do not participate in these user supported, public communities.

Name a word processing application that does this. Pages and MS Word v16.72 won't zoom an image object by double-clicking on it.
