How to Zoom In an Image in GIMP
The GNU Image Manipulation Program, or GIMP, is a raster graphics editing program designed to run on Linux-based operating systems such as Ubuntu. GIMP is a free, open-source program with functions similar to -- but not quite as extensive as -- high-end commercial image editors. GIMP's "Zoom In" command is located in the "View" menu. Zooming in magnifies the image in the GIMP image window.
