Screen Loupe’s main window can be resized. This feature makes it ideal for screen captures. Just size the window to accommodate the area to be copied and press Ctrl+C.
Screen Loupe also displays information about the current hardware configuration and dynamic system resource usage as well as an ASCII / ANSI character code chart, MS Windows Error Codes and resizable Horizontal and Vertical rulers.
Screen Loupe was originally designed to facilitate accurate viewing of graphic images during program development, but many people have written to me regarding it’s use as a screen magnifier for computer users with vision impairments. If you are using Screen Loupe as a screen magnifier for this purpose see the section below regarding Fixed Viewing Regions.
Copying the Current Screen Loupe View:
You can copy the current contents of the Loupe window to the clipboard
using Ctrl+C, (using the Copy item on the Edit menu will simply copy
the menu itself). To copy a portion of the screen; make Loupe the
active window, place the mouse over the area to be copied and press
Ctrl+C to copy the Loupe display at the current magnification rate to
the clipboard.
Locking the Current Screen Loupe View:
You can lock the image currently displayed in the Loupe window using
Ctrl+K. This command, like the copy command needs to be carried out
from the keyboard, or you will wind up with a locked view of the menu
itself. Press Ctrl+K again to return to normal viewing.
Using Screen Loupe to View a Fixed Region:
Screen Loupe can also be used to view a fixed region of the display
instead of tracking the mouse as it moves. To use the Fixed View
option make Screen Loupe the active window, move the mouse to the
location on the display to be used as the viewing area and press
Ctrl+F. To restore Screen Loupe to normal mouse tracking press Ctrl+F
again. After resizing the Screen Loupe viewing window you will need to
turn Fixed Viewing on again.
