Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Tall images (such as comics or memes) are sometimes unable to zoom in enough to view finer details of the image clearly (such as text or individual panels of a comic). The issue is present on both desktops and mobile, but mobile is able to zoom in more than desktop. Example image

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the ability to zoom in more to more clearly see smaller details in tall pictures. Being able to set if the image should open zoomed in would also be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Downloading these images to device individually to be opened in a separate photo viewer.

Additional context
I am not sure if this should be categorized as Feature Request or Bug Report, as I am not sure if this is within the scope of the current photo viewer.

Research direction

Start by locating the viewer's zoom controls and compare the desktop and mobile limits for tall images. Confirm how the linked example behaves at the current maximum zoom, then define completion as allowing finer detail to be viewed on desktop without regressing mobile behavior.
