1.5.5 problem with retina iMac 27

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?

72 dpi 600x600px, use 100% zoom.

 

Project looks small.

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.

Fit - its not actual size. In preview version I use ⌘1 - and  all was great. :(

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%.

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?
