DH found a nifty free program at http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/
It's called "Virtual Magnifying Glass", and turns your cursor into a frame that enlarges whatever you put it over. It doesn't add any information, of course, so setting it for more than 2x makes a picture uselessly pixellated. With lace pictures there's another trick that works more often than not: a lot of the people who post pictures of lace know more about lace than about computers -- so if you right click on a picture and pick "view image" from the menu that appears, there's a pretty good chance you'll get a picture that's larger and more detailed than the one that you clicked. The right-click trick also works when an image hasn't downloaded; if you click where the image should have been and pick "view image", sometimes you get a message that there is no such file, but more often you get an image, then when you go back to the page you were looking at, the image is where it belongs. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
