“It Was Me, Barry! I Zoomed Your Canvas!”

With apologies to Reverse Flash, and with thanks to Ian Thomas Healy (check out his super-hero novels!) for poking me, I’ve just released a new “Zoom” feature for HeroMachine 3. I’ve long been frustrated on how hard it can be to get a close-up view of a particular part of an illustration to fine-tune it. Now you can:

  • Ctrl + scroll wheel — zoom in/out, centered on cursor position
  • Trackpad pinch — smooth zoom in/out
  • Right-click canvas — context menu with Zoom In, Zoom Out, and Reset options
  • Drag empty canvas while zoomed — pan around the artwork
  • Zoom indicator pill (bottom-right) — shows current zoom %, click to reset to 100%
  • Touch pinch — two-finger pinch to zoom on touch devices (when no item selected)

Enjoy, and let me know what you think of the new feature!
