Chris26 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Something I have not needed to do before but now I must, viewing my Iages in Publisher at 100%. Now this may well be a silly question, but I have had to enlarge the screen size image to 200% (even 250%) to make it even seem like 100%. All images are 300 or 360ppi and very big at source. Does this sound correct to others? Because I can enlarge the exact same image to 100% on my apple and it is double even 2 and 1/2 times larger than viewing it through affinity on the laptop screen. Is this a screen issue? Quote Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a screen issue? If you are talking about the situation illustrated here under, the same file 1) is placed in Affinity @ 300 ppi/100% and viewed @ 100% and 2) is viewed in Apple's Preview @ 100% : Size is not the same because Preview considers the file is set @ 144 ppi. Note there is also a setting in Preview for choosing if 100% means exact printing size or exact pixel representation on screen. Depending on your display resolution, this can also change size on screen.

thomaso Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 What unit are the documents set to in your tests? I experience different display sizes not in a 'physical', absolute unit like millimeters or inches, but only in pixels. Pixel is a unit without an absolute reference: The size of pixel on your screen depends on the hardware of the monitor + the setting of the screen resolution in the operating system. It may get possibly more confusing if you change the document resolution while the unit is set to pixels – in this combination the physical size gets changed, too, means if you then switch from pixels back to millimeters or inches not only the document resolution but also the page dimensions have changed.

Found it, under Zoom. This is what I wanted, pixel view and actual size, thank you.
