Anyone have a step-by-step example of how one can do a image magnify cutaway similar to what you see here for photoshop? It would be nice if there was a tool that could do most of the work, like place a circle on an image and click copy which would copy the circled part of the image as a new layer.

I have to confess... Maybe there is one already, but just started to look into it and thought I'd post this to see if anyone has already done this and has example source code they could share that might save me some time and experimentation.

Thanks,
Eric

Hey, thanks Nigel!

OK, let us know if you have any difficulty.

The connector lines won't be too bad.

Let's say you have a layer, lyr.

CenterPt is: Point( lyr.PosX + lyr.Width div 2, lyr.PosY + lyr.Height div 2);

So the start point for connectors on the layer would be:

StartPt1 := OffSetPoint( CenterPt, lyr.Width, lyr.Height, -45 );
StartPt2 := OffSetPoint( CenterPt, lyr.Width, lyr.Height, 135 );

Thanks. I might just skip the lines. A blow-up of the circled area is all they were looking for. They can draw an arrow or something if desired.

Hi Eric

I'm afraid there is not an automated way to do this. You'd need to code something. I imagine when the user has a (circular) selection, they'd click a button and you would generate an image layer (zoomed image), two shape layers (black circles) and two line layers (connector lines).

The only bit that would be hard would be the math to position the connector lines. For this, you might want to use the OffsetPoint() method in hyieutils.pas
