I am trying to magnify a webcam image. At present, I can see the webcam image in a MediaView and take a picture of the image and display it in a PictureBox. The part I can't work out is how to 'zoom in' on the image. I am aware that there may be issues with image quality when 'zoomed'.

I have attached some code that will give you an idea.

Any help appreciated.

I have made some progress: -

 Hello cogier,
by using your second code, it seems to me that the problem is basically solved.

Thanks vuott. It is improving, I was just wondering if anybody else had any better ideas.

 Hello cogier,
just a question: …why did not use ".Stretch()" Picture Method ?

Hi vuott,

I set the PictureBox property to Stretch = True. I used Picture.Copy method to display the image. You can see all this in the WebCamViewer-0.2.tar.gz file above.

It works, but does not do what I want. The loss of picture quality as you zoom in is terrible! I would need a much better camera than the cheap webcam I am using.
