Big_Stan Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 What is the difference between "view at 100%" and "view at actual size"? When I select view at "actual size", the 1 inch grid on the screen measures 1 inch, however, when I select "view at 100%", the 1 inch grid on the screen measures slightly more than 2.5 inches. Which view option shows the image as it would appear on a print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted May 31, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi Big_Stan, Actual Size (print size) uses the screen's DPI to give an accurate representation of the physical size. It should take into account the dimension in pixels and the DPI to determine the physical size. If you set your document to pixels, 100% should simply show 1 pixel on screen for 1 pixel on the image. So to answer your question, use Actual Size if you want to get an idea of what the image will look like on a print.I hope this helps.
