Set zoom limit for Zoomed Selection tool
Posted: Fri May 05, 2023 6:19 am
I seldom use Zoomed Selection tool because currently is very confusing and unpredictable as to what zoom level it will output. For example if my camera is 16MP i don't need to ever zoom beyond 200% maximum because then image is way too pixelated.
Currently Zoomed Selection tool's zoom level is defined by the size of the selection rectangle you draw.
Problem:
need to zoom house on this image 200%
I draw a Zoomed Selection frame around the house
it zooms to 482% where all is pixelated and useless zoom level.
In reality needed to zoom 200% .
In order to get zoom level 200% with Zoomed Selection tool would have to precisely guess the right size of selection box before drawing it, which is unrealistic.
Feature request: provide ability to specify max zoom limit for Zoomed Selection tool (say no more than 200%) so it will never zoom more than that, simply use center of selection as center of zoom area.
P.S. Of course can zoom out with minus (-) key on keyboard, but its extra work, imagine need to look trough 100+ images and check if subject is in focus, this additional work makes XnView MP less efficient for that task.
