Viewing Pictures

I've just discoverd that Firefox has an extension called Image Zoom that lets you zoom in and out of pictures. I tried it on Hamish's latest post and it worked fine.

I installed it but I still need to restart to set it up.

I have another plug-in that I use sometimes, called Reveal 1.0.6 that includes a 2" x 2" movable square that acts as an adjustable magnifying glass - just scroll the power up and down.

Reveal allows you to see thumbnails of pages in your session history and quickly find the page you want. Reveal also includes a magnifying glass to help you see everything.

I use image zoom all the time.

Its not only great for zooming in on small images, but you know those images that sometimes span the borders on the threads and make you have to scroll sideways? Yup, you can shrink them down and get the normal borders back. It only lasts as long as you dont click out, so when you click back everything is back to its normal size.

I was wondering about that...

The scrolling sideways issue is what I thought of when I read up on it.
