I want to be able to zoom a picture and save it so that when I open up the
file the next time it's in the zoom size that I saved. I'm trying to email a
photo to my phone so that the picture is larger (my phone won't resize the
picture). Thanks for your help. (PS I am using the Microsoft Photo Editor to
view the pictures).

Click to expand...
=======================================
Zooming is for viewing, it doesnt resize or
crop the picture.

What you need to do is Crop the section
you wish to keep.

The freeware IrfanView may be useful to you.

Download IrfanView
http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html
(get the plug-ins too)

Open the image in IrfanView...

Left click / drag a box around the portion of
the image you wish to keep.

Type...Ctrl+X...Ctrl+V

Now, go to...File / Save As.

Choose a File Name, a Save Location and a
Format...

Click Save...
 
You cannot do it the way you describe it.
What you can do, is keep the interesting part of the photo (the part you
zoom on) by cropping out the other portion of the photo with your image
editor.
Open the photo and select the crop tool, then place the crop over the
portion of the image you want to keep and select Save As and use a new name.
You now have a new photo file with only the interesting portion you want.
 
Inside a picture file such as a .jpg is some information concerning the file
DPI. This is usually defaulted to values between ~ 20 and ~300 by various
picture sources, such as digital cameras and scanners. A photo editor
capable of changing this setting will allow applications that use the
setting to scale the picture if the application is set to do so. Many
applications zoom or shrink the picture automatically to fit a display
window size selected by the user. Irfanviewer is a program that can be set
to make the displayed picture fit the window, or resize the window to fit
the picture.
More capable Photo Editors can also resize pictures by "resampling" This
process can reduce or increase the number of pixels (resolution) in the
picture. A very basic resize larger might take the color value of one pixel
and add three other pixels, for a block of four pixels.
