Photoshop CC 100% zoom setting seems different

Hello everyone,
I just upgraded from CS6 to CC.
I immediately noticed that when I opened a PSD file that I had previously created in CS6, the 100% zoom does NOT look right. My artwork is pixelated and looks like I am zoomed in too close. But I am at 100%. I've even tried zooming in and out and it STILL looks pixelated. It's like I can't find the true 100% zoom where everything looks nice and sharp at the normal 100% zoom. What's going on?
I have made sure that when I open the same PSD file again in CS6 and set it to the 100% zoom everything looks perfect and sharp, and it does still in CS6. But again, when I open it in CC, it does not, and looks pixelated again.
Please help!
Thanks,

Thanks but I have already done that and it did not change anything.
It's really weird. Take a look at these screenshots below.
The 1st one shows my 1900px wide web page design mock up. As you can see, it does say 100% zoom in the bottom left corner of the window. But very obviously, the size of the design is displaying WAY smaller than the original 1900 wide page design. I just don't get it.
Then look at the 2nd screenshot below. I have zoomed in once to view at 200%. Now the page is way too big and displays much larger than the original and correct size of 1900px wide. And hence, the artwork has become pixelated...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kit

Adobe Photoshop CS6 100% Zoom Issue

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Version 13.0.6 x64
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
100% Zoom is very tiny on my screen. How do I fix?

An Images dpi setting has nothing to do with it. Its all about the number of pixels you have. Image for the web have fewer pixels. It does not matter it you set the image DPI resolution is 72, 300 or any other value when you don't resample the number of pixels remain the same. When you display actual pixels 100% zoom an image with 10K pixels with a 300dpi is the same 10K pixel image with a 72dpi resolution setting. Printers will use the images dpi setting to adjust pixel size. Displays do not they are run at their native DPI resolution whatever that is. So a 10K pixel image with a 72DPI setting and a 10K pixels image with a 300DPI setting will be displayed as a 10K pixel image at the displays dpi resolution.
DPI defines Pixel size pixel density 300DPI means 90000 square pixels per inch so the pixel size would be 1/300" x 1/300". 72DPI means 5184 pixels per square inch so pixel size is 1/72" x 1/72"
So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 72DPI and print it will print 100" x 100" do know of a printer the cal handle 100" paper
So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 300DPI and print it will print 24" x 24" you need a large form printer that can handle 24" wide paper
This image can not be displayed on a display zoomed to 100% only part of the image will fit you will need to scroll about the image. Unless you have a 34" display with a square aspect ratio with a 300DPI native resolution that I don't know about.

I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

100% zoom is too small on screen

Hello, I'm using photoshop CC on amacbook pro retina. I mainly use photoshop for web design and when I open a document that is 300x200 px, the 100% view is too small on screen. Any ideas, It was this way on PS cs6 also before I upgraded. I just tried to delete the prefs file and restarted PS and it did not change. I have also tried to change my screen resolution to "best for retina" and it is still the same.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be condescending. But the problem is you've paid extra for something that's actually an improvement, but now you don't want it to work any differently than what you had before.
You don't appear to understand how images and displays actually work. I'll try to provide an explanation...
Images are made out of pixels. Little squares of one and only one color each that when stacked in rows and columns together make up what we call an image.
Your display has the ability to display little lighted squares of one and only one color each (it's really a bit more complicated than this, but I'm trying to keep it simple). Stacked in rows and columns these tiny display sites make up your display screen. Before the Retina display, every square inch had roughly 100 x 100 of these display sites. Now (assuming a 15" Macbook Retina display) you have 220 x 220 of them in every square inch.
In order to fit so many more in a square inch they have to be much smaller. With me so far? Each tiny display site is 1/220 of an inch on a side, by definition.
When Photoshop displays an image, it sizes it per your guidance - you set the Zoom factor.
100% zoom - by definition - means that one pixel from an image will occupy one display site on the screen.
Can you now see how, since the display sites are much smaller on a Mac retina display, an image displayed at 100% will appear smaller?
Now here's where some additional magic comes in: The folks who programmed your operating system and browser realized that you would probably not like to see everything less than half the size it was, so they automatically use 200% (or more) zoom behind the scenes so that the pictures and stuff on web pages and application controls are displayed nice and big. This happens with older non-retina applications automatically as well - it's called pixel doubling.
To directly answer your question:
Set an appropriate zoom level in Photoshop to make the image as large as you'd like to see it and you will be fine.
It may help you to feel better to think, when you see the sharp edges of the pixels at zoomed-in sizes, that you have a display that's got such high resolution and is so accurate that you can see the edges of the actual pixels, while all the folks who don't have Retina displays are just seeing them blurred together.

How can I save zoom setting for a DOCUMENT so it opens at that setting?

I find an optimal zoom setting for a document I'd like to use (say 42%) and want the document to open at that setting. I save the document with File>Save Copy. However when I open the document, it opens at the DEFAULT zoom setting set in the Preferences for program. If I change the zoom level here to what I desire for that document, obviously all documents will open at that default setting.
How can I save my desired zoom level for a document, which will most likely be different for EACH document, and have the saved document open at that setting?
This seems like a trivial exercise / feature that should be easy to implement BOTH by the programmers of the software and the user setting the zoom level.
Also, I want to suppress the bookmarks sidebar. I save without the bookmarks but the documents opens with the side bar. Can't THIS be set for each document?
Why is it so difficult to tailor the viewing of a document to exactly what the viewer wants?

OK. Sorry for the mistake in posting the question here.
Again it seems like it should be trivial to save a document in the Reader with a viewer's desired zoom setting. I find this very helpful as I like to use a zoom setting that when scrolling down the document only one full page of the document is viewed (like turning the pages of a book). Without this feature, partial pages are displayed when scrolling unless one experiments to find the correct zoom setting (often it is 60%). One must do this every time one opens the same document, unless one remembers the zoom setting.
Oh well ....

ACR6 Sharpening/NR visibility at less than 100% zoom

I am seeing that ACR in CS5 now shows sharpening and noise reduction at less than 100% zoom. Thanks for that Adobe (even though we know it's not "accurate" in the strictest sense).
Now that we have that I am curious about the interpolation method used by ACR for screen display/zoom. Is it the old PS way (the one where 25% and 50% were considered to be "better" at judging sharpness), the newer interpolation that started with PS CS4, or something entirely different?
Also, this is more of a Bridge question but I have seen at least once so far where Bridge showed me sharpening applied in ACR6 in the Bridge preview but it seems a little quirky in that it doesn't always show. Once it showed me NR but not sharpening. Is this perhaps a little buggy still or is there a special combination of the Bridge preview preferences that are needed to make it work? I have tried various combinations of the "monitor-sized previews", "100% previews", etc. and have tried to be diligent about purging the Bridge cache between changes but I can't seem to get it to display sharpening consistently in the normal preview (the loupe and full-screen at 100% or greater DO show sharpening and NR).
Thanks.

How do I set up different network locations with different wifi?

I am having an issue setting up different network locations with different wifi profiles on each. I want to do this to enable fast switching of wireless networks. In my house I have two wireless networks, my own personal one and one that is created by using a wifi modem supplied by my company. If I use the company wifi network then I can get into all my work applications without having to enable VPN access separately. It is also faster. However, they also block many applications including sending email from my personal email account, dropbox, etc. So throughout the day I need to switch wireless networks back and forth.
I was looking for a faster way to switch and thought I would try network locations. Was able to set up a new network location without issue. However it seems that whatever wireless preferences, changes, or wifi network order I put into my "Work" location it carries over to my other location which is the standard "Automatic".
What I would like it to have my "Work" location only to be able to connect to my work wifi and my other network (Automatic) to just connect to my home wifi only. That way I can enable faster wifi switching and can even use my launcher program (Alfred) to provide shortcuts.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

Outlook 2010 Signature: Resizes GIF-pictures when you do not have 100% dpi set on display settings

Our automatic signature tool creates signatures for all our employees. The signature works fine until people with non-100% dpi setting on display (e.g. medium 125% or Larger 150% in Control Panel > Display) try to edit their generated
signature and saves. Suddenly the images get resized and blurry, even if it is not displayed as resized when save the updated signature.
It works fine to edit and save if you have display DPI set to 100%.
The company logo is 127x38 pixels, 2,15KB GIF file.
Is this a known bug or something else? I'm not sure its fair to blame the signature-tool as it works okay before the editor has been doing its stuff.
Another strange thing. If I have edited a signature in 125% and saves it. I send an email and the signature logo is blurry. But if I change display DPI to 100% and send another email (logoff and logon first to change dpi) then the logo is fine again.
Seems like the logo is bound to text size

Our company is having this exact same problem. We have Outlook 2010 SP2 and Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise. As the OP we have a signature creation tool that helps us create these HTML signatures dynamically. OP did you ever resolve this issue?
However, in our situation our logo gif image is already 96 DPI. Our HTML signatures work perfectly fine when Windows DPI is set to 100%. But, as soon as you go to 125% or 150% we have problems when saving email drafts and sending emails where the
logo increases in size.
Here is an example of the HTML code for my current signature. Any help on this issue would be appreciated. Is there a way to prevent Outlook from doing this when DPI is increase from default. We have a lot of users that need to increase
the DPI to see their PC better.

Images are always magnified and not showing at 100% zoom level

http://s7.postimg.org/oy0gq3x8b/chrome_firefox.png
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
left side is Chrome rendering; right side is Firefox
Notice the 3 images, all rendered zoomed in by Firefox.
No matter what I set in Preferences, what plugin I tried, i can't reset to 100% zoom.

Hello,
Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
You can adjust your screen resolution.
To modify it do the following:
* Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
* If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
* Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
[[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
* Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How is 100% Zoom Calculated?

In reading a similar post for Photoshop Elements, the respondent indicated that a 100% zoom is where one pixel from the camera is displayed as one pixel on the monitor. So, if my monitor has a display of 1,680 x1,050 and it has a diaganol dimension of 15.4" and I am doing a 100% zoom on a 16.2 mpx file (4,912 x 3,264) how is this magnification calculated?
Thanks
Earl

In other words, if I take a 10 mpx file, a 16 mpx file, a 24 mpx file and a 40 mpx file; at 100% zoom they will all display 1,680 x 1,050 pixels of that file?
Exactly! Lightroom calls it 1:1 instead of 100% but that is a detail.
So when you are looking at a 10 MP file at 1:1 you see the equivalent of a crop from a 30x20" print, with 16 MP a crop from a 38*25" print, with 24MP, a crop from a 47x31" print and with a 40MP file, a crop from a 60x40" print.
I do these calculations more often as you might be able to tell ;-)

Customized setup for deployment of Firefox 4 : How to integrate addons & prefs (seems different than 3.6.x)

I'd like to silently install Firefox 4 using customized prefs, but it's seems different than the 3.6.x versions.
How does it work with the new "folder architecture" used in Firefox ?
* For 3.6.x, using the -ms switch install Firefox silently, and i integrated addons & prefs by :
- copying pref.js + localstore.rdf + mimeTypes.rdf + content-prefs.sqlite + bookmarks.html to "localized\defaults\profile".
- extracting all *.xpi addons into the extensions install folder "nonlocalized\extensions".
* For FF 4 the -ms still works, and i tried to copy my addons in "core\distribution\extensions\", but all of them do not install, and I don't see any "localized" or "profile" folder for the prefs..
Thx a lot in advance !

Hi guys, here are some informations that i found and combined. These preferences/customisations ARE TESTED and WORKING!!
First of all, extract your "Firefox Setup 4.0.exe"
'''Silent installation without desktop icon:'''
Create a "nodesktop.ini" at the same place you can find the setup.exe (root directory after extraction) containing following text:
[Install]
DesktopShortcut=false
'''Run''': Installationfolder\setup.exe -ms /INI="CompletePathToInstallationFolder\nodesktop.ini"
'''Disable Import Wizard:'''
Create: InstallationFolder\core\override.ini containing:
[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false
Many options have to be set in InstallationsFolder\core\defaults\profile\prefs.js These directories and the prefs.js File have to be created first. Then make following entries:
'''Use wpad:'''
user_pref("network.proxy.autoconfig_url", "YourWpad.dat");
user_pref("network.proxy.type", 2);
'''Set startup homepage:'''
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.YourPage.com/");
'''Don't show browser rights:'''
user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true);
'''Don't ask if FF should be default browser:'''
user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
'''Dont't show FF welcome homepage at first run:'''
user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "");

100% zoom vs one/two page display

If I hit one page view, the text gets scrunched down to a hard to read level. If I hit 100% zoom I see two pages. What I'd like to do is see the document in 100% and then simply keep scrolling down. It seems like Word 2007 really forces
you into a devil's choice: two pages side-by-side, or a zoom to an unreadable level to completely fit one page on the screen. Again, what I'd like to get is as much of one page as possible (and only one page), and 100% zoom. Thanks.

Why are the developers unwilling to implement a solution to this problem, and instead just telling us helpless users to live with a workaround? All it takes is to push a non-critical update through Microsoft Update to fix this for everybody.
I'm pretty sure you have a big team of developers working on developing Microsoft Word. If I can think of all the possible solutions below just by myself, why can't that whole team come up with something ever better? Seriously?
Either: Provide a new option under
Word Options > Display > Page display options that says
"Prefer displaying single page in Print Layout view." with an information tooltip
(i) that says "Word prefers displaying two or more pages in a row if the zoom level and the width of its window allows it. Turn on this option to force Word to always display a single page per row at any zoom level, regardless of available
width."
- The next solution may be better than this as at low zoom levels the small unreadable pages will be displayed as a continuous string instead of a grid.
- You may even include a checkbox on the Ribbon to easily toggle this.
Or: Provide a new option under
Word Options > Display > Page display options that says
"Prefer displaying one page instead of two pages in Print Layout view." with an information tooltip
(i) that says "Word prefers displaying two or more pages in a row if the zoom level and the width of Word's window allows it. Turn on this option to force Word to display a single page at zoom levels where normally two pages are displayed side
by side in a row. This option is most useful if you have a widescreen monitor, and it will not affect zoom levels where three or more pages can be displayed in a row."
- This means when the zoom level is small enough to allow three or more pages on a row, Word reverts to normal behavior (but two pages must always be shown as one page).
- You may even include a checkbox on the Ribbon to easily toggle this.
Or: In the
Zoom section of View tab of the Ribbon, make One Page and
Two Pages buttons behave as toggle buttons. When
"One Page" is toggled on, always display one page no matter what the zoom level. When
"Two Pages" is toggled on, always display two pages unless the zoom gets too big. When
both are toggled off, use normal behavior.
- Of course, don't allow both to be toggled on at same time.
If Microsoft ever puts me in the dev team of Word, I'm telling you a LOT of things will change. For starters, I'll listen to user suggestions and attempt to implement the good bunch instead of throwing workarounds at them and telling them to live with it.
Of course, that's not gonna happen coz I don't know why manholes are round and not square!
