Enlarging Thumbnails

I have photos and video in files on my desktop I want to see enlarged. In Snow Leopard, you simply went to the bottom and moved the slider. What happened to that handy tool in Lion? Or is there a method to enlarging thumbnails I don't see? Any help most welcome.

Mac OS X (10.6.7)

To enlarge files that are in Folders, open the Folder with the files/View/Show View Options


The same applies to files on the Desktop that are not in Folders. Click on the Desktop/View/Show View Options


You can also right click on files and folders and bring up Show View Options in the Contexual Menu


And you can use the Keyboard shortcut to bring up Show View Options with Command+J
