Seeker, can you take a screenshot, and then zoom/magnify the screenshot?? That is one of the ways I additionally mag a pic sometimes.

For some reason this stupid HP computer (with windows 10) won't let me do a screen capture

I need some type of program that will allow me to actually zoom in on these photos...

suggestions?

I use mostly Gimp for my image processing needs. It's free.

Is it a laptop? If it is try to press the "Fn" key at the same time you press the "PrtSc" key.

Making a screenshot is a great feature on my Apple IMAC - It is just simply hit command/shift/4 together, and then with the mouse put a border around the desired photo area and click-it!!

Maybe it is the HP computer, but..........one of these might work for you!

Gimp is ok but I don't care for the GUI.
I like Zoner better but to each his own.

Ok Sarge, help me out; what is GUI and what is Zoner?

GUI graphicical user interface.
Zoner Studio is a cross between a graphic editor and a graphic browser.

GIMP will allow you to zoom in and is a free program.  It basically does what Photoshop does but looks less polished.

Beware of endless zooming in the hope of seeing more.  Once you can see each pixel (strictly speaking bit of data) zooming further doesn't show more detail it just visually increases the size of a single "dot" from the original image.  So oce you zoom beyond a certain point lots of pixels on your lovely high resolution monitor are actually representing only one "pixel" from the original image and therefore you are not seeing more detail.

JPEGs lose data because the compression algorithm used to save the image disregards far too much image information that cannot be reconstructed during decompression.  So when the image is decompressed missing data has to be put into the image.  This effects the quality and can produce artefacts that were not in the original image.
