For all you Mac users out there, I found a cool feature that not all of you might know about: zooming in on your own screen!
To activate Zoom:
- Open System Preferences
- Go to Keyboard & Mouse, then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
- If it is not already activated, activate Full Keyboard Controls (Check a small box on the lower right corner of the window labeled all controls)
- To activate the zoom feature, press and hold Command + Option + 8
- Your zoom feature is now enabled! To zoom in, press and hold Command + Option + ^ and to zoom back out, press and hold Command + Option + '
(on swiss/french keyboards, the -^ key is situated next to the delete key, and the -i key is situated on the left of the -^ key)
I find this feature very useful. It's like the click-to-zoom feature on pixelation and pixeljoint forums, except that I can use it anywhere & anytime!
