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). Control Panel settings, 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:

The Display Window in Version 1.4.0 floats on top of all other windows.

Hold the 'ctrl' button down and scroll with your mouse. OS X will zoom in to as big as you want. move the mouse to the menu and use your menu controls like you normally would. Want to zoom out? Do the same again. Simple.

It's all there- built right into Mac OS X!! No need to clutter your screen up with extra junk that basically does the same thing!

This program will allow you to magnify the items on the menu bar, including the drop down menus which is not possible any other way. Thanks to the developer for making this program available.

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

TXRustler
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!
