Cool Idea

Duplicate a slide with an image on it. Use the crop tool to isolate a part of the image. Resize the image so that it is larger Go back to the original slide and create a shape

that covers the area of the image that you enlarged.

Make the shape transparent and hyperlink it to the other slide.

This way you have an image that can zoom in on sections.
