Zoom view

[Chris]

I want to show a picture with a zoomed portion that highlights a particular
area. I want to be able to emphasize (and zoom--not dynamically) to show
detail in a portion of the picture.

For instance, if I had a picture of a car's engine and wanted to show the
image of the engine in a reduced brightness and then show a zoomed area that
focuses on the car battery.

I thought that I could put a auto-shape with a cropped portion of the
original image, and then put it on top of the original image. This may work,
but it doesn't show a zoomed view (like lines that connect the auto-shape,
maybe a circle, to the area of emphasis on the original picture)

Any help with the is is greatly appreciated!!!

You're goingn to have to draw those lines in yourself.

Not quite sure what your mean. Do you mean draw the actual lines of the
zoomed view myself or the lines that connect the original image to the zoomed
one?

I was able to wash-out the original image, but now I want to show a portion
of the original image zoomed in an auto-shape or whatever.

You're going to have to create an enlarged sexction yourself and you're
going to have to draw the lines that connect the 100% view to the >100% view
manually.

Easy to do in Publisher too. Use Autoshapes to insert the portion of image you
want to emphasize.
