Am I missing something or is there no simple one click way to save a zoomed in pictures of lightroom 4?

The crop tool is simple enough to use but for the life of me I can't figure out how to simply zoom into a picture and save it. Some have said to take a screen shot and save it and so on but this seems (to me at least) to be a basic operation of editing software so why would they leave it out on such an advanced software.

I really hope I'm wrong about this and I'm just overlooking something.

Help!!!!
 
No I don't think you are Yv - I'm a bit lost though, why can't you just use the crop tool to get what you want
 
Not sure what you mean - zooming is one tool, cropping is another although you can crop part of the image which gives the impression of being zoomed - click "Done" once you have got the crop as you want it. Then you can export (and probably print) the edited cropped version. However as it is only a virtual crop if you click on the crop tool again, or leave it open you still see the original image.
 
Zoom in libary mode just left click on the image crop same way as now if you dont like it just reset and do again. You can't save the image as zoom as far as i know it would not fit on your screen. If you crop and the total pixels fit on your screen then it would show the 100% when you looked.

I don't understand your question, but think that you're confusing zooming and cropping.

Zooming is just that, making an image appear larger (or smaller) on your screen. If you magnify the image you can see what you're doing more easily, esspecially when working on fine detail for cloning and the like. if you decrease the size, you can see the whole image, which is useful for global changes, such as levels, WB etc. It's simply showing an image at a higher (or lower) magnification.

Cropping, on the other hand, is extracting part of the original image to make a new image, and discarding what you don't want. Once you've done that, you can still zoom in and out as you could before.

Hope that helps?
 
I think the OP want's to crop his pic but end up with the same size image (say 4000 x 3000 pixels) like you can in photoshop.
As far as I can remember in LR (I haven't got LR handy here) you have to crop to the original ratio, then in the export put in the original size whatever it was to resize it back up.
