No, what I need to do is leave the image intact but zoom just a portion. For example, let’s say you had a photo of a cow in front of a store. Now, I want zoom the name of the store but leave the rest of the photo in proportion…
Am I making sense?
I know what you mean.
There is no easy way to do this with the zoom tool I am aware of.
There are several tools in Photoshop that effectively do what you want to do. For instance if you select the unsharp mask filter it will create a small blown-up portion of the image and as you click around the original image you will see the unsharp dialog change to reflect the new position.
This is kinda sorta what you are after, but while it’s open you can’t do any other tasks to the image until you close and/or cancel the unsharp mask. Also you can’t change the amount of zoom it utilizes.
You can do the opposite of what you want by zooming in close while you have the navigator tab open.
Sorry not to be of more help.
