Yeah, I'd considered that too, but was just hoping to find something that would be even quicker. That is, I'd just select an area on a full-resolution image, click a button and the plug-in would copy the selected area into a new layer, shrink the main image underneath it, and add some kind of transition / call-out effect between them. Maybe with a parameter or two to specify the distance and direction of the call-out from its original position in the thumbnail. BTW, nice effect in your example. Mal.

Hi there, I'm creating an online tutorial for some software and need to include screenshots. In particular, I want to highlight the position and appearance of a given control in large screen. Given that I haven't got the space to show the screen at full resolution (at least, not alongside the tutorial text), I figured I would use a kind of call-out from a thumbnail. Here's my poor first effort: Given how long this took me to craft, I'd really like to find a plug-in to speed things up (and make them look a little more professional!). The exact style it produces isn't that important, provided it achieves the desuired effect. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, Mal.
