DESCRIPTION

Point N See lets you magnify a portion of the screen to read fine print or magnify an image.

  • When you open Point N See, you see a small Control Panel and a larger Display Window; the Display Window shows a magnified and dynamic view of the screen surrounding the mouse. There is an option to add crosshairs to the Display Window.
  • In Normal Mode, the Display Window shows a magnified and dynamic view of the screen surrounding the mouse; in Fixed Mode, the Display Window monitors a fixed spot on the desktop, freeing the mouse for other purposes.
  • From the Control Panel you can Show or Hide the Display Window, turn crosshairs on/off, and choose four levels of magnification (Slight - x2, Medium = x3, Larger - x4, and Largest - x5). Adjust settings, drag the Control Panel out of the way on the desktop, and click on the small triangle to make the Control Window as small as possible.
  • Drag the Display Window where you want (drag the bottom right corner to change its shape).
  • Close Point N See by clicking on the Control Panel's (red) close button.
  • Control Panel settings, positions for the Control Panel and the Display Window, and the Display Window’s size are saved between sessions.

    THE X  For most people, this software is slightly pointless. On all Mac's you can now hold hold Ctrl, and then scroll up and down to zoom in on the screen. Much faster than opening an app, and totally integrated to the system!

    EASER  As has been noted elsewhere, the main problem with this is that Apple's zoom magnifies the entire screen. Sometimes you only want to magnify a portion of the screen.

    GCOGHILL   Needs a global keyboard shortcut to activate/deactivate, as well as hide/show the main zoom window. Also an option to allow the zoom viewer to float above all other widows.

    Otherwise, pretty handy.

    PHALERON  My sincere gratitude to the developer for making this useful, and very much appreciated tool free. I have a real problem with the older Adobe app palettes which seem to be smaller than norm, and which, on a res-ed up screen are impossible to see. I have been using the Assistive devices display command to magnify the numbers till now which is very, very time-consuming, but this should help immensely.

    If it can be further modified and used out of the dock or the menubar it will be perfect.

    Thank you.

    VASILIS  Almost perfect. The only thing it needs is (an option for) a horizontal and a vertical pixel line in the Display Window

    OCHYMING  Apple pixie.app does this.

    But you would have to instal the developer package.

    So thanks.
