I dont know if you all know this or not but if you click on the large pic you can zoom in or out

by pressing the crtl and + or - keys together.

A little hand also appears and you can move it around by left click and drag.

Ps this is in any windows system.

I didn't know that, so now I'm off to give it a whirl.

Thanks Mark, and if I haven't welcomed you in another thread,

Hi Mark, welcome!! Why do that? All you have to do is click on it and it will show up large anyway!

This doesn't work on any other browser apart from Internet Explorer 7 and higher Sue.  I don't use IE as I dont like it, its far too slow for me, like a lumbering giant lol, I use Firefox browser, and it doesn't work on that or Safari or Opera for those who use these.

Safari and Firefox users can still zoom the whole webpage ( ctrl + mouse wheel up/down) . That's not the same as photo zoom but it can help.

Being new to computers, this is my first ever, a laptop, but in the righthand corner is a magnifying glass symbol and I can zoom in to infinity!  I have Internet Explorer.
