Do we know that users like zooming? Or if certain particular groups of users
like zooming?

I often find zooming irritating. I would mostly rather have a single,
somewhat larger full view of an image than to zoom in on just a piece of the
image, even if the detail is not as good. Zooming takes more clicks & drags,
and then I end up with something where I can't really see the work.

I just wonder sometimes if the effort we put into zoom is worthwhile. Should
we just make the images bigger? I know that ours could be a lot bigger
before it's possible to get any financial gain by stealing them.

Thanks,
Matt
