Improved image viewer is Lovable's Agent feature: Opening an image attached in chat now magnifies instead of starting a drawing.
Opening an image attached in chat now magnifies instead of starting a drawing. Click the image to zoom in at your cursor, drag to pan, and zoom up to 200% with the zoom controls, a pinch, or Ctrl+scroll. To draw on the image, select Draw in the viewer, sketch, and choose Save to attach your annotated copy or Cancel to discard it. The same viewer opens images that Lovable shows in chat, like screenshots of your app from its work. There, Add to chat attaches the image you're viewing to your next message, so you can point at what Lovable showed you and ask for changes.

Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.
