IMO, you definitely need to see the mouse cursor in the magnified view, and you should be able to interact with it. Windows has a magnifier that uses a second window for the magnified display. The good is that the cursor shows up in the enlarged view ... the bad is that the window takes up so much room on your screen and you have to relocate it frequently while you work. You can dock it on the edges of the screen or have it float, however. If you want to see/try the Windows implementation, it is under Start>Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Magnifier. Here's a screen shot of the Windows version in action. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL66/86790/6669793/233053894.jpg The Windows version is not "bad", but improvements could be made and I don't know if other operating systems have such a tool. A version that resides in GIMP and is designed with retouchers in mind would be a very nice feature, I think. --- Sven Neumann <sven@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > how should tool interaction work with this?
