Hmm. Yeah, that is certainly an option. Would require that output be 
disabled when zooming though, or that it be output with the "resolution" 
appended, instead of to the original file. You may want to so this to 
capture "parts" of an image, to use some place else, not just for 
testing. Clipping out the bit you zoomed in on would be possible, if 
less convenient in that case, but possible. The only reason I figured on 
repositioning the camera was precisely because, while its useful to look 
closer at some sections, it *may* have other uses, including rendering 
"closeups" of certain parts, without having to work out where that needs 
to be exactly for a new camera position. Rendering as a part, at a 
higher resolution, kind of limits it to just running test renders, to 
get a bit of a better look at something.
