Flickr Photo Magnifier

Add a magnifier (instant zoom) to see details on flickr photos.

This is an adaptation of the TJPZoom image magnifier by János Pál Tóth to work on flickr images.

Have a look at the notes on the images. Basically, when you toggle the magnifier on, you have a small rectangular magnifier on the medium sized image to look at the details.

Flickr Photo Magnifier by mortimer?

If you click and drag upward, it will zoom in, if you click and drag downward, it will zoom out.

The zoom uses the original or large version of the image, if available (if not, then the magnifier button doesn't show) to build the magnifier.
You can choose which image you want to use by going into the greasemonkey scripts menu. If you choose the lower resolution (large), then the magnifier will load faster but will be a bit pixelized.

I seem to have a conflict with this Script in which I can't access the All Sizes Button? I get an error message from Flickr.

I've tried to Uninstall it from my Firefox GreaseMonkey but can't seem to do it?

I installed these as a group from Gina Trapani who assembled a set of Useful ones over at Lifehacker.

I know a couple of people also had trubble with this in the Flickr Forum. Initially I had No Problem but about a month ago this cropped up.

Thanks for your Help + Great Scripts!

Hi! Cool tool, thanks. I would also like for the mouse pointer to disappear (or turn into something smaller or more discrete) while I use the Instant Zoom. Contrary to the screen shot above, I have the regular black arrow right in the middle of the zoom area. (Firefox 2.0.0.4, OS X 10.4.10)
