Click on image won't zoom anymore
All of a sudden I notice that images don't zoom/enlarge when clicked anymore in Articulate Rise. I don't know when this stopped working, I only just noticed it. I have the box "Enable zoom on image ...
First, make sure that "enable zoom" is checked for the ones that aren't zooming; I've accidentally turned it off before and then couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. (I also found that my reading glasses were on top of my head the whole time. :-) )
But, assuming it's on in every case, they need to start big in order to zoom. I believe it's actually "zooming back up" to its original size, not magnifying it.
Zoom amount varies with original size and proportion, and may also depend on the block being used.
For instance, in the Image & Text block, the VW image is 1680 X 1044, and you see significant zoom. In that same block, dimensions in the 500 - 600px range won't zoom very much, if at all. Same with a "vertical" image I have in there with dimensions like 200 x 800 px.
In the Labeled Graphic, images you can insert into the pop-up cards will zoom noticeably with dimensions in the 700 - 800px range.
I've seen it "zoom out" too. In the Tabs, if you set an image to show full-width, and it's small to begin with, like 400 x 400....well, that setting actually does magnify it to start with, so it goes small in the zoom function.
For me it's been trial-and-error, but the general rule is to start big. Hope that helps.
Jeffrey, this is all very helpful. I spend a lot of time in Rise modules checking every single image to see if it will enlarge or not, and then turning off the zoom option when needed. I appreciate you sharing all of this information, which will be put to good use. It's always seemed like a mystery why some images can be enlarged and others can't. I look forward to trying your tips! Have a good day.
