Magnifying Glass

Use Magnifying Glass to make your image look as though it is being viewed through a glass lens.

Amount

Determines how much the image is magnified. If you move the Amount slider to the left and choose a negative value, your selection looks as though it is farther away, just like viewing an object through the "wrong" end of a telescope. Conversely, positive values cause your image to appear closer to the viewer.

Scale

Controls the size of the circular area around the center point affected by the amount of magnification you have chosen.

Aspect

Controls the aspect ratio of the horizontal and vertical diameters of your magnifying glass.

Center

Sets the point about which the effect is calculated. You can use the Set Position button to set the center.

Direction

Magnifies your selection in only one direction rather than two. Select Horizontal or Vertical instead of the default Both in the Direction list. This has the added effect of squaring off the filter's corners.

Resize Image

Extends the effect past the edges of the layer.
