I read your words and they don’t make sense to me. I generally think of a green colored house as being green. In your world it seems this is not necessarily the case.
But I said no such thing! A "green house" is not necessarily a green colored house. But of course a green colored house is in fact green.
A green house may be red. It might have transparent walls, be warm inside, and be meant to grow green plants.

Not true! If your camera produced 24 MP and you view a 6000x4000 image on 24 inch monitor, which can display perhaps a 1920x1200 pixel image, you may see what you think is the whole image, but at best nearly 3 out of every 4 pixels is missing!

100% is the whole the whole thing.
Unless it means 100% of the pixels, which actually is a very useful meaning.

That's a greenhouse. A green house is always green.

This is just one example of the many inexactitudes we encounter when terms become "common knowledge" without anyone thinking about what the term actually says. Good that "Streets" can set the world straight on this issue dealing with photography, as I could never figure out why it was called that either. Now, could you tell anyone using the term "dial" that is has no place in the telephone world of this day and age?
Just imagine the billions of dollars it would cost to remove all references to DT or DIALTONE in the many software packages that run on telephone switches!

You’ve just made the understanding of all this much harder. So if I start with 100% I can crop it to have more, maybe 125%? I can recover the part of the scene I didn’t shoot? I’m confused.
Don't confuse yourself. As Burkphoto says, if you do not use the crop tool, you are not cropping. (And I'll just throw in here, that cropping cannot make an image larger -- just try it with the crop tool to reassure yourself).

A green house is green (at least mostly), but a greenhouse is something else.

So you’ve been teasing us with your green house. Not helpful. Now you say when I am looking at my whole picture, I’m not really. Pretty much all you’ve said is bogus and just word games. Not cool.

But you can have a "400% crop".
Not terribly useful, but not hard to do.

Either spelling, with or without the space, is acceptable. So is green-house.

There is no teasing. The point is try to teach something.
Do you think that viewing 3/4 of the pixels in an image is looking at the whole thing? Try to sharpen an image viewed that way and you will learn that 100% is extremely inportant.

It depends on what the word "crop" means. 😜😜. In photography, it can mean reducing or increasing. Take your pick and start from there.
To me, the word "crop" means removing pixels from one or more edges of the image.
To me, changing the size of the image in pixels is "resizing".

Maybe by you and a few others.
If you Google green house it comes back with, "Do you mean 'greenhouse?'.
If you search for the definition of green house, the dictionaries come back with the definition for 'greenhouse'.
So, like many things on the internet, you can say whatever you want and find a few folks who live outside the norm to agree with you. I hope that you have a good time playing in your green greenhouse.

I have never heard of anyone referring to an uncropped image as a 100% crop. It seems to me that "100% crop" is an oxymoron. If it is 100% of the image, it is not a crop.
I never heard that term before either. But, could 100% crop be interpreted as "100% you should crop that picture"?
