This desktop magnifying glass is a small but potentially very useful utility for making your desktop more accessible by magnifying certain parts of it. This can be highly useful when make presentations, for example. The virtual magnifying glass utility acts as a virtual lens as well as a desktop magnifying glass, a screen zoomer and more. This allows you to magnify (enlarge) both text and graphics on the screen to make them easier to see. This is especially useful when you are projecting an image of your screen onto a wall using a projector as it can make the desktop clearer and also allow you to place an emphasis on important parts. When carrying out PowerPoint presentations, for example, this little tool can quickly become invaluable. It makes the displayed area far more accessible and easily readable. There are also a collection of extra enhancements and special visual effects that you can use to further optimize the display.

Magnifying Glass Pro is much more sophisticated than the built-in magnifying glass feature included in Windows. This solution has many different potential utilities including aiding the visually impaired. It can also help to lessen eye strain. Projecting higher detail and providing you with various extra settings and features, this solution also provides quality. It is far better than having the screen set to a lower resolution which is not the native resolution that the screen was designed to display. For those interested in using it to make presentations, it is a vastly cheaper solution that forking out for a more expensive projector. Projectors can quickly become very, very expensive when you need a higher quality display.

The desktop magnifying glass can also be used to modify the magnified area in real time. This means that the magnified image can, for example, be rotated, inverted or have its color contrast changed during the process. The software is also designed to take full advantage of systems with multiple monitors. In this case, one screen can be used to display the magnified area of the main screen in its entirety. Again, this is especially useful for making presentations. It provides you with more control than you probably ever imaged possible when it comes to making business presentations.

For further versatility, the desktop magnifying glass also provides various additional unique features including the ability to save multiple sets of program settings in individual profiles that you can access quickly and easily. The magnifying glass can also be accessed either by using a hotkey or simply be shaking the mouse from side to side. There are no restrictions on how you can use the software which can either occupy the whole screen, a smaller, user-defined area or even a separate screen.
