Magnifying effect on an image.

Hello. I'd like to know if there's a way to add a magnifying effect so that when the cursor hovers over the image, that area is enlarged (storyline 360).

Thank you!

    Hello, thanks for your help/inputs.
    I ended up using this solution:

  • Hovering isn't an accessible action. People can't hover when they're viewing the course on a phone or tablet. It'd be better to make them click. 

    If you only want them to see a portion of the image enlarged, clicking could show that in a layer or possibly a custom state.

    If you want clicking to enlarge the entire image, just select the Zoom Picture function in the FORMAT ribbon while you have the image selected. 

     

  • There are a few ways you can do this. . . most common would creating a Hover State or showing a layer.  There was a recent challenge that might also have some ideas - https://community.articulate.com/blog/challenge-recaps/exploring--magnifying-techniques-in-e-learning-496/1219151
