when in preview mode, there are some images that are hard to read. I would like to be able to view an enlarged version.
If you click on an image. It should give you the option to view the image file in your file explorer so you can view it in Apple preview or any other image viewer.

Thanks @ryanjamurphy However the functionality is quite limited. My image files are photos from pen on paper mindmap and hence contain a lot of detail. I would like to be able to zoom in an pan (like in Mac Preview). The option is available while in edit mode, but not in Preview mode.
I see, thanks. Switched this back to a request!
Iād like to have this too, and to me it feels like a core feature - images should be viewable in full detail. When there are multiple panes open in Obsidian, itās understandable that images need to be scaled down a lot for them to fit.
Iād suggest that when a small image is clicked, open a modal that shows it as big as the Obsidian Window size allows. At the bottom of the modal, there could be two buttons: Open in default app and Show in system explorer.
Thanks! 
You could try the Image Toolkit plugin
Thanks, but I still see this feature being something that could be included in the core (of course itās just my opinion). Iām not so keen on installing plugins for small things like this. That particular plugin is good in that it offers even more features than what are requested here, but personally I do not need those features, only the ability to click an image to get it larger.
In the mobile client we have an image viewer where we can tap an embedded image to view it at full size. Could the same functionality be made available on desktop so we can left-click an embedded image to view it at full size as well?
As stated in this thread, there are various CSS snippets around that do something similar but I think it would be nice to have this built-in and since it already exists in the mobile client it would be nice to have it in the desktop version just for consistency.
Yes please! Iām dumbfounded by how so something so basic is not part of core functionality yet! Or at the very least:
Changed title to indicate desktop version because the feature already exists on mobile (was āEnlarge imageā).
When I view images in view mode, I often need to see more detail, e.g. when browsing screenshots of slides.
Right-click option to Open the image in different application that allows for zoom, or in addition, Zoom option for images on hover in view mode.
thoroughly regretting that I saved an image in Obsidian
You can try out the Image toolkit plugin
When adding an image into Obsidian (Desktop, Windows), if the Image is quite large it would be useful for me to click the image and have it open in a ālightboxā (donāt know if this is the right term) so that I can see it in a zoomed in, full resolution form, being able to scroll left and right on the zoomed in image etc.
Currently, Obsidian Desktop does not let you do that.
As an example, if I have an image that has a lot of small writing on it, once I paste it into Obsidian, it becomes useless. I cannot zoom in or āopen it upā within the note to see the details.
This feature ironically works on mobile (iOS) with a much smaller screen, but doesnāt exist on the Windows Desktop application.
On Obsidian Desktop (Windows), it would be good to click on an image to have it open in a popup window in full resolution where we can see all the details we need.
Nothing sadly.
You can currently do it by left click to reveal source code then right click Open in default app. Left clicking an image already has a clear purpose: it reveals the image link. You can then right click the image link. Right clicking (local) image offers 6 useful functions:
I donāt think that is a reasonable experience, not to mention the fact that it requires the user to take the experience outside of Obsidian.
I do believe that it is a core feature that Obsidian would be better off implementing natively (to mirror the mobile apps).
