When I open a picture in PS CS6 the Navigator shows the percent enlargement to be about 33%. If I use the Control + 0 (zero) key the picture fills the work area and is about 50%. When I zoom in to 100% (or more) to check sharpness, etc., I can always return to a full screen (50%) by once again pressing the Control + 0 keys. Take care & ...

No need to. It was "artbob", the guy who claimed that simply changing focal length of a lens altered the perspective, even if the camera position was not changed, then defended that decidedly unfactual statement through nearly fifty pages of being proven wrong in every possible way.
I'm surprised he hasn't weighed in here claiming that his original statement was correct, if.... blah blah blah....
There are plenty of contributors here that weigh in quickly on most topics with accurate, factual information, not just uninformed opinion. But I do think it's tough for a beginner to separate the wheat from the chaff if they don't know who's who....

That's a helpful tip I learned quite a while ago while working on small screens where I had to magnify the view to see what I needed to see. Control-0 works on many applications to quickly get you back to a 100% view. Thanks for the reminder!

It was artBob and that is why I feel bad. How can he be wrong so often? He was a teacher for god sake.

Unfortunately, there are many teachers that are abysmally ignorant of the subjects they teach.

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

Special thanks to Rick36203 and AndyH. Both answers were well explained and perfectly understandable. Why others find it necessary to contribute when they have absolutely nothing to contribute is unfortunate.
I now have a perfect understanding for my question and again thank all the positive contributors. That is what makes this Forum so enjoyable.

Yeah... been there and seen that! If 20% of your teachers are great, rejoice!

Yes. The last one expresses my feelings most accurately. Opinions are like belly buttons - everyone has one. But facts are a little harder to come by.
I have to admit, it annoys the crap out of me when uninformed posters contribute their inaccurate opinions as "facts". I may not always agree with your opinions, Bill, but you are always quite careful in differentiating your opinions from your statements of "fact".
There are so many newbies here. I think about my digital beginnings and get more and more annoyed at the possibility that others may be misled by ill-informed or totally bogus "facts".
Rock on...

A special thanks to Rick36203 and AndyH for your detailed answers. I now have a perfect understanding for the question asked. It is a pleasure when those in the know are willing to provide great answers. It would be great if those who have nothing of value to contribute would just sit back, conserve their energy, and not wear out their keyboards with useless information.

You are most welcome. There is a LOT I don't know about photography, especially this brave, new, digital world. If I don't know, I try to remain silent, and if I do know, I try to speak up. A wise man once said that knowing the difference between what you don't know and what you "know" that is wrong is the very definition of wisdom. I may not be, but I'd rather be wise than right....
