SUMMARY
I use the zoom/magnify effect sometimes when trying to align icons with pixels. It works OK right now, but the pixels are blurred when I zoom in. That makes it harder to see the exact positions and colors of the pixels.

+1, I have the same occasional need.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2020-08-17 18:52:06 UTC 
As a workaround, you can set scaling mode to "Crisp" in compositor settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference
