  66 <p>Magnify shows an enlarged version of the area around your mouse pointer.</p>
  67 <img src="../images/apps-images/magnify.png" alt="magnify.png" />
  68 <p>At the top you'll find the size and magnification level of the area. "<i>32 x 32 @ 8 pixels/pixel</i>" means that you look at a 32x32 pixel square around your mouse pointer and every pixel is enlarged by a factor of 8.</p>
  69 <p>Below that is the color of the pixel that's marked by a red outline. Its color is presented as RGB and hex value.<br />
  70 You can move the red outline with <span class="key">←</span> / <span class="key">→</span> / <span class="key">↑</span> / <span class="key">↓</span>.</p>
  71 <p>To measure distances and align objects, you can add up to two blue crosshairs with <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">H</span>. Their X/Y coordinates toward the top left corner and, if both are added, their X/Y distance from each other, are displayed at the bottom.<br />
  72 They can also be moved with <span class="key">←</span> / <span class="key">→</span> / <span class="key">↑</span> / <span class="key">↓</span>. The active crosshair is marked with an "x".</p>
  73 <p>You can move the mouse pointer pixel by pixel with <span class="key">OPT</span> <span class="key">←</span> / <span class="key">→</span> / <span class="key">↑</span> / <span class="key">↓</span>.</p>
  74 <p>Clicking on the pop-up menu gives you a number of options:</p>
