How to create zoomed portion boxes(?)

[Kelly Johnson]

Interesting… so it’s sorta the opposite way that the Navigator window works.

Remember when Photoshop used to be able to open just a piece of a larger file? I don’t know why that ability was ever taken out; I’m sure it had to do with silly legal mumbo-jumbo but back in the day when one had a gigabyte image and machines effectively maxed out around 2 gigs of RAM (if you were in a big shop!) that was a life-saver….oh yeah, it was called Live Edit.

So, sorry not really answering your questions but I wanted to give it some track.

I’m also interested any other method / plugins / whatever to create something similar images linked in the first post. There’s got to be a way. ^^
