There are pictures inserted in our questions in the question bank. Can I / how do I maximize the area the picture zooms to when the zoom picture magnifier is clicked. If it won't zoom enough to tell detail, will I have to create a link and place the object on another slide? TIA!
When you use the "Zoom picture" function, it will zoom so that the image is full screen. You could use the insert Zoom Region to zoom to a particular part of an image, although it's based on a particular point in the timeline, not assigned to a trigger.
Placing the object in another layer would be the best option. What you could do is have a trigger on the question image that when user hovers over to show the layer with the larger image and have some sort of trigger to close this layer when the user clicks or does something else returning you to the question slide.
I have three images on a slide using the zoom picture they enlarge to different sizes. One of them is barely bigger than the image on the slide. Any advice?
It seems to me that it enlarges to a point that it would be full screen based on the original size of the picture... I hope that makes sense. This means if you brought a picture in and resized it smaller it will only enlarge until that original size would fill the screen.
Try resizing the picture first and then reinserting it and add the zoom picture function.
Has anyone found a solution? I'm trying to have the zoom show the original size but it only marginally increases when clicked. Changing the scale makes the image go beyond the slide size.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing along with the images, but I'm still unclear what you see.
I want to look at your project file to investigate what's happening with your permission. You can share it publicly here or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when troubleshooting is complete.
I am wondering why the zoomed image goes beyond the Stage and into the Navigation area. It would be great if we could have some control over how the image zoomed.
Although you can't control where the zoomed image will appear, you can follow the steps outlined in this article to create your own zoom effect using states.
Through the use of states, you can create a zoom effect by adding a custom state to your image containing a larger version of the normal image. You can then make use of triggers to activate the state change.
I've attached a sample file which demonstrates the effect.

Hi Holly,
Without seeing your images - it's hard to say. Are you able to share that one slide here with us?

Thanks James for sharing some ideas here.
