Increase zoom on the Windows version of PhotoLab beyond 400% to match the Mac version

I noted that in the PhotoJoseph Webinar on using the clone tool he was able to increase the zoom percentage to 1600% on the Mac version of Photolab 3. The Windows version will only zoom to 400% I would like the zoom percent in Windows increased to match the zoom of the Mac version.

The Windows version will only zoom to 400% I would like the zoom percent in Windows increased to match the zoom of the Mac version [1600%]

Could you please give us an example of where/why this would be useful, Mark.

Hi John,

There are two places right off the top of my head. First, when applying a local adjustment in a tight area, and second when applying a repair or clone of a area right up against, or passing through, another areas you don’t want affected. Higher magnification allows you to apply local adjustment masks and repair masks more precisely. I use both tools extensively and have found myself using them more and more as my experience increases. There are very few images to which I don’t apply local adjustments. On many occasions I’ve had to redo both LA’s and repairs because of the inability to zoom farther in to achieve greater accuracy.

Hello guys,

We already have this task in the backlog. We’ll do that as soon as the time allows.
