* Zooming In

I use a script that automatically zooms an image to 800%. ** This has to be applied to an image that is at 100% (normal size), otherwise it will not work properly. You're more than welcome to use it.

Download: Zoom800.zip

Unzip the file to your Scripts-Restricted folder.

There are two ways to use it, either from the Script toolbar or from an icon on your toolbar.

* Adding to a Toolbar

- If you're using PSP 8, you will need to rename the file. To add a script to a toolbar in 8, it has to be a Boundscript, so rename it Boundscript#. The # you choose has to be between 1 and 8. If you haven't used any other Boundscripts, you should be safe using # 1. [Mine is named Boundscript3]

Once you've changed the name, open PSP 8 and go to View > Customize. Under Categories on the Commands tab, scroll down on the left to Bound Scripts. Click on it. On the right, click (and hold) on the # you gave the Boundscript. Drag it to a toolbar.


- If you're using PSP 9, Go to View > Customize. Select the Scripts tab. On the drop-down menu, choose Zoom800. Select an icon and click Bind. Now go to the Commands tab. Under Categories, click on Bound Scripts. Click (and hold) on Zoom800 and drag it to a toolbar.


* Note: I have also added the "Normal Viewing" icon to my toolbar. This makes it very easy for me to quickly toggle between 100% and 800%.


In PSP 8, mine looks like this:


In PSP 9, mine looks like this:
