Product Description:

Point N See lets you magnify a portion of the screen to read fine print or magnify an image. When you open Point N See, you see a small Control Panel and a larger Display Window. In Normal Mode, the Display Window shows a magnified and dynamic view of the screen surrounding the mouse; in Fixed Mode, the Display Window monitors a fixed spot while you use the mouse for other purposes. There is an option to add crosshairs to the Display Window. From the Control Panel you can Show or Hide the Display Window, turn crosshairs on/off, and choose four levels of magnification (Slight - x2, Medium = x3, Larger - x4, and Largest - x5). Adjust settings, drag the Control Panel out of the way on the desktop, and click on the small triangle to make the Control Window as small as possible. Drag the Display Window where you want (drag the bottom right corner to change its shape). Settings for the magnification, the locations of the Control Panel and the Display Window, and the Display Window's size are saved between sessions. Close Point N See by clicking on the Control Panel's (red) close button.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.2.0 adds two shortcuts to turn the Display on/off as long as the Control Panel is visible. Control-Shift turns the display on; Option-Shift turns the display off.

Point N See ReviewA great Mac Magnifying Glass - Version: 1.1.0, 1/21/2007 07:46AM PST

This is an extremely useful utility for anyone who needs to enlarge a small portion of the screen. "Magnifying Glass" has done that in the PC world for years, and the developers of Point N See have done at least as good of a job for the Mac. I use it to magnifying the running time of the clock on a audio recording program, which is normally very small. The developers addressed three of my concerns within 24 hours and posted quick updates. Great utility and great support!

Point N See ReviewAlmost Magnify-cent - Version: 1.0, 1/18/2007 12:37PM PST

A useful alternative to Universal Access's Zoom feature, and at least to me, much better than the same company's Computer Glasses (same idea, but circular selection).

One complaint, what's the point of magnifying the app's display window when the cursor is on it? It should magnify what's underneath instead, otherwise, the bigger the display window, the harder it is to pick the spot to magnify (and you can't magnify a large portion of the middle of the screen).
