<p>Preview in <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/mac-os-x-10-7/">OS X Lion</a> has been updated to include a helpful magnification tool that follows the mouse cursor. To activate it, just <strong>hit the ~ (tilde) key</strong> with an image open in Preview, then by using the trackpad you can pinch or spread to increase or decrease the size of the magnifier.</p>

<p>This is pretty useful and offers a much more precise option than zooming in on a full sized image with the command + and – shortcuts and then navigating around. </p>
