NOTE:The Screenshots & the 602 download page & other links will open in fully functional new windows.
Drag their sides or click on the Maximize button to see the windows bigger.
Some people have poor eyesight.
I use lots of screenshots in my tutorials made on my 19 inch monitor at 800 X 600 resolution.
To help those with poor eyesight I decided to make this tutorial using 602 Photo Freeware as the image editor.
You can get a free copy of this program HERE.
You download the free Pro Suite.
It has three programs.
The Photo program is the image editor.
I installed my copy in Program Files.
I put a shortcut to the 602 Photo part on my Desktop for quick access.
If you view a screenshot or any image and it is hard for you to see it, right click on it and choose "Save Picture As" in My Documents or a folder of your choice.
Then Open the 602 Photo program.
Now click on "Open".
In the NEXT SCREENSHOT you will see where I chose an image to resize.
Click once on the image selected and then click on "Open".
Click on a Folder and it will open and you can choose an image from it.
After you open an image click on the "Size" icon.
Making the Width "800" should give you a nice BIG easy to see image.
When the image has been resized click on "File" and choose "Save as".
I renamed it to "goldaward2.jpg" so as not to lose the original image.
You can then go to My Documents or wherever you saved it to and right click on it and choose to open it with Internet Explorer.
I have Windows XP Pro.
Older versions of Windows should have the Accessibility options.
In Accessibility there is a Magnifier thing.
Click on START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/ACCESSIBILITY and browse through the options to find the Magnifier and other options.
You can get more information on Accessibility options and magnifier programs: HERE.
To make text bigger right click on a blank space on the toolbar at the top of the screen and choose "Customize".
Add the Text Tool to the Toolbar as seen in the screenshot.
Then choose "Largest" to make the text on a page much bigger.
As far as I know it won't enlarge images.Just text.
With a scrollmouse hold the CTRL key & roll the wheel to resize text.
You can use Windows Paint to Zoom in on images.
Open Paint.
Open an image and click on "View" and click on "Zoom".
Choose one of the options.
If you choose "Custom" you have better control over image size.
Most image editing programs are similar in function.
You can use ImagoWeb to resize images also.
It has an area screen capture function too.
It is Freeware.
The creator sent me this copy:
Click here to download my copy of ImagoWeb with area screen capture
It is a .ZIP file.
Extract it to a Folder in your Program Files.
You need to extract it to a new folder because it contains an .EXE file & several .DLL files.
It is best to extract it to a folder so all the files are in the same folder & not in Program files.
It is best to extract any multi-file .ZIP to a folder of its' own so everything is contained in THAT folder to hold down confusion when you look at the files contained in your Program Files.
If you just extract a multi-file .ZIP to Program Files chances are you won't know what files go with the .EXE file.
But if you extract a .ZIP to a folder all the files associated with it will be in one place separate from all your other files.
When saving images with ImagoWeb don't add a .jpg or .gif or .bmp to the file name.
Otherwise you will end up with something like dog.jpg.jpg.
Here is something else for you to play with:
It has a timer so you can capture opened dropdown & slideout menus.
Set the timer for about 12 seconds.
Click on the clock icon & then the smallest window icon to the left & drag the cursor over an area big enough to cover the opened menus & wait.
In the new window open the menu & wait with the cursor on anything you want highlighted & a screenshot will be taken.
It only saves as .bmp.
You can convert with Paint or ImagoWeb or 602 Photo or whatever.
Windows XP Pro has a "Preview" function for images.
Find an image and right click on it and left click on "Preview" in the popup window.
In the "Preview" window left click on the tiny magnifying glass at the bottom of the window with the Plus Sign in it to zoom in and make the image bigger and bigger.
Each click makes the image bigger.
Click on the magnifying glass with the minus sign in it to make the image smaller again.
