Hi, you're back. That's great. We always like it when our readers come back to see what's going here at WebCare. Why not sign up for the RSS feed and you'll get auto updates.
If you have ever been frustrated by the fact that clicking on ‘larger image’ does not produce, in fact, a larger image, this is the reason why.
Larger Image in Zen Cart
The size which is displayed, when clicking on ‘larger image’ is the size which you upload into Zen Cart.
The system automatically re-sizes images to fit your ZenCart 
design. There may be one size set in product view, another image size when displaying a list of products, and yet another size when displaying the product as a special on the front page.
It is only when clicking on ‘larger image’ (or some people have ‘enlarge image) that you see the actual size of the image just as you have uploaded it.
So make sure:
1. That the size is, in fact larger (there is nothing more frustrating than clicking on ‘larger image’ and the image is the same size (or sometimes smaller)
2. That the size is not too large! We have seen images that are so large they fill up the whole screen, and the customer does not know what has happened!

Large images are always nice. Many older people have problems reading smaller images so this is a nice feature to have to not scare away users.

This is one of the things I had heard about as a problem with Zen Cart. I have been considering using Zen Cart for a couple of my sites but hesitated because of presenting larger images. Thanks for clearing this up.

Internet Business will grow in the years to come as more and more people get online. I also invested in an online store.;-.

One of the few drawbacks of shopping online is that you can’t examine/try on/touch the items you’re purchasing. I’ve noticed myself buying more often and more loyally from sites that do allow me to see and actually larger image.
