 * I am using the Featured Image Zoom toll in a template, using the php callin, 
   and trying to control the size of the zoom, but zoomsize doesn’t seem to have
   any effect. I am using it like this:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[zoom zoomsize
   =small]’ );`
 * _[Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or [use the code button](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).]_
 * I tried small, medium and large, but don’t see any difference. We are getting
   the zoomable image.

 * WordPress does not have a default image size definition called ‘small’, so unless
   you have defined a custom image size called small, that wouldn’t work.
 * The default size for the image displayed when it is not hovered is the ‘large’
   image, so you wouln’t want to have the ‘thumbnail’ or ‘medium’ image shown as
   the zoomed-in version as they will be smaller unless you have defined their size
   to be larger, which although possible is probably unlikely.
 * Is it the unzoomed or the zoomed image you want to change? If it is the unzoomed
   image, please defining a value for the size parameter rather than zoomsize:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[zoom size=thumbnail]’ );`
 * If this doesn’t help with solving the issue, please post a link to a page on 
   your site where I can see the issue, and list the sizes defined at settings -
   > media in your WordPress admin.

 * Thanks for your response. Sorry I didn’t get back to you quickly on this. I think
   the real issue the client has is with it is the disorienting effect of it zooming
   in so far, or so fast. Is there any way to slow down the effect, or to control
   theprecentage of zooming?

 * No, the amount of zoom is governed by the size of the images used.
 * If you define a ‘zoomed’ featured image size with the height/width set to the
   required values, you can specify for it it be used for the zoomed image by using
   the ‘zoomsize’ parameter, but there plugin was not designed to provide a transition
   or percentage zoom as it is overlaying a cropped version of one version of the
   image over an uncropped version of another.

 * OK, I’ll try different sizes and see what works best. Thanks for your help.

 * It does seem to blow up the image to the same dimensions, not matter what size
   the original is. I try 1600px, 1200px, and 800px and the zoomed image is still
   the same size, but with increasing blurriness as I get to smaller original images.
   I was hoping to decrease the size of the zoomed image, you know, not zoom in 
   as much, as it were. Any way to accomplish that?

 * Hi there,
    Nice light-weight plugin with a great effect. Thanks! But, I am trying
   to accomplish exactly the same thing (‘not zoom in as much, as it were’) and 
   not having any luck with the code provided. See [https://casa-felix-tenerife.com/?page_id=8](https://casa-felix-tenerife.com/?page_id=8)

 * The zoom scale cannot be set apart from changing which generated version of the
   image is show.
 * As a workaround you can scale the original full size version of the image down
   so it is scaled to the zoom size required. Do this in your preferred image editing
   app (eg Photoshop/Affinity Photo/Gimp/Paint.Net/Pixelmator etc) before uploading
   the image to WordPress.

 * Thanks for the response. I have now scaled down the image but that only blurs
   the zoomed image, it does not change the scope of the zoom e.g. not zooming in
   as much.
 * You can see the results on these pages:

 * Have I misunderstood your suggestion?

 * I have now been able to reproduce this issue and I can see what has caused it.
 * I have added a new ‘zoomin’ parameter to the plugin and tested it on a development
   site.
 * A default value of 6 is used if this parameter is not included, but a lower value
   can be used to reduce the amount of zoom if required.
 * eg: `[zoom zoomin=3]`
 * This new parameter is available in version 2.1.0 of the plugin.
