Magnifying Glass Tutorial - Photo Zoom Effect Tutorial Photoshop CS Beginner Tutorials In this novice photoshop tutorial we will take an image of a magnifying glass and an article we found on wikipedia that talks about Adobe Photoshop and we will illustrate how to create an image zoom effect using the magnifying glass. In this tutorial we will see the text zoom from the article. We will do this using photoshop effects and photoshop zoom filters.
If you ever find yourself wanting to quickly zoom an image to 100% view size or fit the image entirely on the screen but can't remember the keyboard shortcuts for the Actual Pixels or Fit on Screen commands, not to worry. Both commands are easily accessible from the Tools palette. To quickly select the Actual Pixels command, simply double-click directly on the Zoom Tool in the Tools palette. To quickly access to Fit on Screen command, double-click directly on the Hand Too:.
Ever needed to place a large, high resolution photo on a website so your visitors could see all the fine details in the image, but the file size and pixel dimensions made it impractical? It may have been a product shot for a company, or perhaps you have an online portfolio of your photography work and you wanted to show higher resolution samples of your images, but it just wasn't something you could easily do on the web, at least not without making your website completely inaccessible to most of your visitors. Thanks to Photoshop CS3 and its new Zoomify Export feature, those days are over! With its new Export To Zoomify option, Photoshop CS3 comes with built-in support for making high-quality images zoom and pan on the web for fast, interactive viewing. In this tutorial, we'll see how easy it is to do.
You'll find the option for enabling or disabling this feature in Photoshop's Preferences. Go up to the Edit (Win) / Photoshop (Mac) menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, and then choose General. You'll see an option called Zoom with Scroll Wheel in the center of the Preferences dialog box. Click inside the checkbox to the left of the option's name to enable or disable the option:
Here's neat little effect for you today, The Zoom Effect. People have been doing this for years with zoom lenses on their cameras and I thought, well that can be done in Photoshop too. Sometimes even when you have a zoom lens on your camera, you may not have the patience to nail it. I don't, so I just do it post-production. Either way it's great and an interesting effect to try on your photos!

Luckily, the good folks at Adobe were once faced with the same dilemma and have included a nifty little function for us in Photoshop. Lets take a look at how I'd prepare a photo for the Zoomify technique and then go through the process.

This one came about as a request in the forums. Someone wanted to know how to create a zoom effect. This effect can be done in camera and is quite fun. (See an example at the end of the tutorial for the camera effect). If you didn't do it in camera, fear not, we have Photoshop. This works in all versions.
4. Make a new text layer and type in the text you want in the foreground to be readable, I found that making the foreground text the same color as the background is a bad idea, so I made it red.
Let's begin with a primer on prime lenses (sorry, that was just too good to pass up). A prime lens is a lens for a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera with a fixed focal length. This is a good start, but let's simplify further. A prime lens cannot zoom. With a zoom lens, you can switch back and forth from a wide angle to telephoto view depending on the situation. Even if you're far away from your subject, you can still get a close-up shot. Zoom lenses offer a great deal of flexibility and are good lenses to travel with since you can take one lens that covers a range of focal lengths. If you only had prime lenses and weren't sure if you'd need a wide angle or telephoto, you'd have to carry 2 or 3 lenses at all times. So why would anyone bother with a prime lens? There are three pretty good reasons: Prime lenses are clearer - since they don't have a lot of moving parts like zoom lenses, prime lenses can be very precise. Many professional photographers only use prime lenses because of the superior image quality. Prime lenses are cheaper - zoom lenses are fairly complicated, while prime lenses have been around since the introduction of the 35mm SLR film camera. Manufacturers have had plenty of time to get these lenses perfect, and their simplicity means that you won't pay an arm and a leg for one. Prime lenses are lighter - if you really like to take your SLR camera on hikes, then you don't want a 3 pound lens attached to your camera. While you won't get the flexibility that a zoom lens offers, you also won't get neck strain with a light-weight 50mm prime lens. Now you know more about prime lenses and why a photographer would want to use one instead of a zoom. But how can a prime lens improve your photography? Remember how I said that zoom lenses were flexible? Well, there's one drawback to using a zoom lens all the time: it makes you a lazy photographer. You can stand or sit in one location and zoom in and out to your heart's content. Not happy with the wide-angle view? Zoom in. Want wide-angle? Zoom out. With a prime lens you have to physically move your body if you want to change your angle of view. Now don't get me wrong - when I say that a zoom lens makes you a lazy photographer I'm not talking about the amount of exercise you get when you take photos. I am referring to the fact that when you have a prime lens attached to your SLR camera you really have to think about your composition. Not being able to zoom in and out on a whim really makes you focus on the ...
Zoomify - John Lee Zoomify is a function in Photoshop CS3 that lets you upload a small file online with all its high resolution intact.
The digital camera is but a technological advancement of the conventional analog camera. And thus every component of the analog camera must have been upgraded or changed to bring in some improvisations. This discussion is an effort to unravel alteration and make one comparison between what was and what is! This discussion is thereby focused upon a very critical component of a camera (analog as well as digital), the zoom! Before making a comparison it is important to discuss the significance of the subject matter, in this case the zoom. Well a zoom lens has more than a few portable glass components inside it. By adjusting these components, the focal length of the lens can be altered. Modifying the focal length alters the view distance as well as reduces the field of view, thereby making the projected image to appear larger. It must me noted that both the optical zoom and the digital zoom are components that are used to magnify an image, but they work in fundamentally different principles and acquiesces drastically different results. In general, optical zooms always produce a far finer and advanced image than digital zoom. Looking at the functions of these zooms, in digital cameras that offer optical zooms function the same way similar to a zoom lens of a conventional analog camera. A conventional lens works by accumulating light rays that are projected over a portion of a film, and in this case of a digital camera optical sensor. The distance of the lens from the focus point where all of the light rays converge is known as the focal length of the lens. Unlike the optical zoom, the digital zoom works by ranging the pixels in the ultimate image after the image has been captured. The fact remains that the same number of pixels are collected when the photograph is magnified. The only thing that alters is the light rays that are projected over the optical sensors to figure out those pixels. It is a common intuition that optical lenses are far better than the digital zooms. The reason is that the digital camera zooms are more prone towards computer applications in them rather than mostly human interactions and expertise. Yet, it also remains a fact that beginner photographers find it more useful to handle a digital zoom and also its computer friendly nature. There the computer does the intricate tasks of finding some levelheaded approximation of colors that pixel might take up as it had captured the images or photographs. Many algorithms are existent in this area...
Rasterize your first text layer by right clicking your text tool and choosing "rasterize..." Now choose Filter > Blur > Radial Blur. Choose 100% and zoom motion.
High Resolution images are becoming more and more popular and easier to create, but the Web isn't really keeping up. With transfer speed limitations, it's not as logical for us to display hi-res images as easily as we may want to. PhotoShop have added a feature into CS3, with the help of Zoomify, that will allow us to export hi-res images and display them on our web site. The process makes use of Adobe Flash Player to display the hi-res image with the ability to zoom in on different areas. This allow the loading of the hi-res image as needed. In this tutorial, we will look at how we can export a hi-res image using Zoomify.

You can use Zoomify to make high quality images fast and easy to view, then viewer can pan and zoom to see more details. Photoshop exports the JPEG and HTML files and a small flash object that you can copy to your website. The basic image loads in the same time as an equivalent size jpeg file.
