<p>Magnify shows an enlarged version of the area around your mouse pointer.</p>
<img src="../../images/apps-images/magnify.png" alt="magnify.png" width="292" height="384" />
<p>At the top you'll find the size and magnification level of the area. "<i>32 x 32 @ 8 pixels/pixel</i>" means that you look at a 32x32 pixel square around your mouse pointer and every pixel is enlarged by a factor of 8.</p>
<p>Below that is the color of the pixel that's marked by a red outline. Its color is presented as RGB and hex value.<br />
You can move the red outline with the <span class="key">CURSOR</span> keys.</p>
<p>To measure distances and align objects, you can add up to two blue crosshairs with <span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">H</span>. Their X/Y coordinates toward the top left corner and, if both are added, their X/Y distance from each other, are displayed at the bottom.<br />
They can also be moved with the <span class="key">CURSOR</span> keys. The active crosshair is marked with an "x".</p>
<p>You can move the mouse pointer pixel by pixel with <span class="key">AltGr</span>&#160;<span class="key">CURSOR</span> keys.</p>
<p>Clicking on the drop-down menu gives you a number of options:</p>
