MS Paint

Times 10 Zoom

Microsoft | From R. | Apr 05, 2004

Microsoft Windows has a built-in paint program. Ok, everybody knows that. And it has the Zoom Function. The zoom levels are x1, x2, x6, x8. Right. But...x10?!
1: When in the program click File - Open
2: Open any editable bitmap
3: Click the magnifying glass icon
4: Click BELOW the x8 option

Ta-da! You can now edit those fine details with grace

thought it wouldnt work but you have to click under the x8 but inside the box that holds the zoom menu. Aslo works with Jpegs so im guessing all other picture formats that you can open in paint will be fine too :)

You need to click a very tiny area for it to work, if it works the zoom options will disappear

I don't have a magnifying glass icon, but when I zoom via the menu and try this egg it doesn't seem to work.

Doesn't work for me, it just zooms to 8.
