The Magnifying Lens tool enlarges your view of
the preview image, allowing you to set the scan
frame with greater precision if you need to.
Only your view of the preview image is
changed; the actual size of the image remains
unaffected.
Each click of the Lens tool magnifies or reduces
by a factor of 2. Thus, the magnification levels
increase from 100% to 200%, to 400%, and to
the maximum 800% (see Note below).
If the portion that you want to magnify includes
most of the preview area, the lens tool will
magnify the view only slightly. To solve this,
enlarge the size of the preview area (through the
Preview Setup command), or create a smaller
selection area.
