If you’re a photo lover, then you know how important it is to have the perfect shot for every occasion. But sometimes, you just don’t have time to take the time to capture that perfect shot. That’s where image zoom comes in! image zoom is a Chrome extension that lets you enlarge or reduce an image by zooming in and out. You can use it to get a close-up of your favorite object, or to get a more detailed view of something big and sprawling. image zoom is great for when you don’t have time to take the time to capture that perfect shot, but you still want the best possible view. It’s also great for when you want to share an image with friends or family, and don’t want them to have to wait for a long while for their turn.
Options
The first thing that you should do once you have the extension installed is to go into the “Options”. Make certain to enable the extension for any websites that you frequently use. If desired you may also change the “popup location/position”. While there are only six websites available at the moment it is our guess that more will be added with further development (based on the Change Log).
zoomZOOM in Action
We decided to try three of the six currently available websites for our article. We started at “Photobucket” with a search for “cats”…thumbnails can be good but larger images are better.
Note: For some odd reason the “Address Bar Icon” did not display in our test browser.
Next we moved on to “Flickr”.
Our third and final example was “Google Image Search”. Once again everything was nicely enlarged and with the second image the full size (1024 x 768) version became available for viewing.
Conclusion
The zoomZOOM extension may only do one thing but it does it very well…letting you view nicely enlarged versions of the images at your favorite photo websites.
