Staff Lee D Posted April 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi cjclip, When creating a new document, what size are you choosing? Have you tried changing the view level to Zoom to Fit (⌘0) or 100% (⌘1). Have you also check which setting you have enabled within System Preferences > Displays? If you continue to have the issue, can you provide a screenshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Lee D Posted April 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2017 A 600x600 pixel document is going to look small on a retina display at 100%. If you use Zoom to Fit (⌘0) it will display based on the app's window size but will still be 600x600. You also have the option of using View > Actual Size.

In preview version I use ⌘1 - and all was great. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egor Komarov Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Now, when I want to view 100% - my windows size is to small, like in photoshop. WTF?I do not understand. Why Affinity do this sh*t in new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted April 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2017 The trial version isn't based on the same code as the update, on re-checking the fixes for the latest update this is included. Controversial change to pixel documents: 100% view now maps document pixels directly to screen pixels. If you have a retina Mac you will now see 100% view showing a pixel in the document on each pixel on your display.If you wish to view your project at the size it would approximately look on a non retina screen, increase the view mode to 200%.

Sad story. It is not comfortable. I will not use the application, from this moment. They've spoiled everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yep. Sad story. It is not comfortable. I will not use the application, from this moment. They've spoiled everything. I don't understand why this bothers you. "Actual size" for a vector based document means very little, & if you are exporting to a pixel (raster) format, everything is going to be resized according to your export settings anyway, so why does it matter if "100%" size is too small in the document window?
