Photoshop question
Sep 3, 2018 23:30:48 #
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain to me what 100% represents when setting the amount of zoom in photoshop. If I want to see the entire image, I must set the zoom at 25% or 33%. I apologize in advance if this is considered a dumb question.

100% is recommended when doing adjustments were you need to see a lot of detail, like noise reduction/sharpening etc., were it would be otherwise hard to evaluate your results. For full image just go to "Fit to screen"!I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain to me what 100% represents when setting the amount of zoom in photoshop.

100% is what the print will look like.
Sorry, that is incorrect!

Viewing at 100% in Photoshop shows one pixel on your screen for each pixel in the image. What you see depends on your monitor's resolution. View>Print Size represents one inch of screen space for every inch of printed image (based on the image resolution setting, and is dependent on the accuracy of Edit>Preferences>Units&Rulers>Screen Resolution).

Yes, 1 pixel per pixel resolution. It has nothing whatsoever to do with printing size, so ignore any defense of that "alternative fact" if it pops up.

If you are going to tell someone that they are "incorrect", at least tell them what is correct.

looking at the image zoomed to 100% is like looking at an enlargement close to mural size. Many photographers prefer to go that way to check details and other changes made with the editor.
I seldom go beyond 50% zooming to see the changes and I hardly ever enlarge my files beyond 12x18 inches size

100%, in my understanding, represents an image enlarged to the point where one sensor pixel is shown on each monitor pixel. Thus a low pixel count image will appear smaller when 100% in PS than a larger pixel count image.

And this is why it may be difficult for newbies to learn what they need to here.
A question is asked, and answered correctly with factual information.
Then an obviously incorrect answer is posted, which others quickly point out is wrong. Two answers to a completely different question. Replies seemingly directed at air, as you can't tell who they're agreeing with or criticizing.
To the original poster who asked the question:
100% view in LR or PS matches one pixel per pixel from your image to your monitor. Obviously, the smaller the image, the more of it will be shown, and vice versa.
It has nothing to do with print size, optimum editing view (although it's often a good choice), or anything else.
True fact...
