A reverse zoom area

Hello All,

  I would like to use a 'zoom area' like tool, that starts out large and then goes small; the opposite of what the zoom area tool does now. How do I do that?

Thanks for your help!

Hi there

This is pretty easy to accomplish in Captivate.

I started to type it all out and it dawned on me that this is likely best explained using a video. So I recorded a video to demonstrate.

It still has some time to process, but it shouldn't be long.

Cheers... Rick

    I have never done this on captivate, but I have in c++.

    If you're currently able to make a normal zoom area, it's essentially the same, although instead of multiplying the pixel duplicates with the zoom ratio, you do the opposite and skip pixels (e.g. every 2nd pixel in 2x zoom out), ranging from [x - areasize * .5] and [y - areasize * .5] to [x + areasize * 1.5] and [y + areasize * 1.5]
