I see. This raises the question of what the zoom
feature is for, and it sounds like you intend it to be
useful for cropping in the main. I had supposed it
might be useful to zoom a portion in order to see the
effects more readily of different preview/color
options. My notion would be that when the thing is in
zoom mode, you wouldn't be able to crop (but this is
because I almost always just scan the full frame and
crop in PS).
