stranded Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Examples below. 1) If the image is bigger than the actual workspace, fit it to screen 2) if the image is smaller than the workspace, show 100% 3) ability to set custom behavior for zoom levels in the UI MaxStirner, velarde and Canticleer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciderman Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) I agree with stranded. My preference is to work in Separated Mode, both in Affinity Photo and Designer. I find it quite annoying to have an image open at a random window size and magnification, even at a random position (well, life is like a box of chocolates alright...). Equally annoying is the absence of a Fit to Screen command. The Zoom to Fit command only fits the image to its present window, but does not fit the window to the available space. Photoshop's Fit Screen does size both the image and it's window to make best use of available space. So I'd like to expand stranded's wish list by one more point: "1) If the image is bigger than the actual workspace, fit it to screen 2) if the image is smaller than the workspace, show 100% 3) ability to set custom behavior for zoom levels in the UI" 4) ability to zoom both image and window to available space with a single button/command (similar to Fit Screen in PS) Edited December 8, 2019 by Ciderman Paintbox, paaljoachim and MaxStirner 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashf Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 There's the setting to limit initial size to 100% in the Preferences. But I would like to apply this rule after resizing/cropping images also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can clearly read "General> Limit initial zoom to a maximum of 100%" in the guide, here. But if I go to Preferences-> General, I don't see that option anywhere. I am using Photo 1.10.4 Is it possible to have a screenshot of where this option is located? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is either a rather gross mistake in the online help or it may be only available to Windows. I am on Mac.

Chroma Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I was looking for an answer to the same question when I came across this thread. Apparently, as a Mac user I'm not getting this functionality. I see the last posting is already a 1 year old -is there any chance this feature will be added to the Mac version, or has version 1 been abandoned seeing that version 2 is now available? If so, are there any upgrade options for existing version 1 license owners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFrog Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Another Mac user here. Is this feature coming to the Mac version anytime soon? I do not see it in the latest version 1.10.6. Could you please also answer questions from the Chroma's post above? Chroma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFrog Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 It's been almost two months and there is still no answer. I'm sorry to say this, but your support could do better. These are simple questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 21, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi @BlueFrog, This option was added to macOS in V2 (Preferences, General section). MikeTO 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
