Bamlagl Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 When I create a document which is 72 pt both in height and width, clicking neither the "actual size" button nor "100%" button in the view tab shows a 1-square-inch canvas shown precisely on the screen, which I believe should've been the normal case. Incidentally, "100%" actually is smaller than the "actual size". However, as to a document that is 1 inch (with is equivalent to 72 pt, I believe) both in height and width, clicking "actual size" button and "100%" button both shows exactly the same and correct size of the document, which is a 1-square-inch canvas shown precisely on the screen. Is it a bug? Or do I misunderstand any concepts? What's the difference between 100% size and actual size? I can't really tell according to the words. p.s.: my OS is OS X 10.11 15A279b.

Staff MattP Posted September 13, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 13, 2015 What Mac are you using? On all Macs I've tried to date, 'Actual Size' correctly uses the physical screen's DPI to give a very accurate representation of the correct physical size of the object.

I'm using 13' retina MacBook Pro early 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
