Please could you possible add the option to magnify 3x? Currently the program does 2x, 4x and above, but I need 3 to be able to use it effectively?

Thanks!

Cetainly a good idea, we'll see what we can do on the next update.

Any idea of when the next release will be?

Not for a while I'm afraid, it's hard to get time to work on the free tools. We'll try our best.

It would also be very useful to allow for zoom factors smaller than 2!

I agree, smaller magnifications also have their use and the option would enhance the magnifier program, I know it prides itself on how large a magnification it can do, so maybe this is our of character for the program? I don't personall tlhink so, Why not be proud on both ends of the magnification scale?
