Google has launched the ability to pan and zoom when viewing photos on Google+ from your desktop. To do so, simply open a large photo in the lightbox, then zoom in/out with your mouse wheel, and click and drag to pan right, left, up or down.

Google’s Dave Cohen announced the feature in a Google+ post last night, which Google’s Vic Gundotra also shared. “Higher resolution photos will offer more to explore, so we’re excited to launch pan and zoom just weeks after launching full-size backups of your Android photos,” he says, pointing to this page about photo uploading.
