Print Size problem

Mar 2, 2004

George, I never got in the habit of using that feature, so maybe there is something I don’t know about, however, here are my thoughts on your question:

I’ve always been of the impression that View Print Size is to see the image size in relationship to the paper size set in the print setup. Because screen sizes and resolutions vary, a universal ‘actual print size’ preview is probably not truly possible.

The Image > Image Size dialog can give the only accurate representation of print size. The dimensions are there…no need to ‘measure’ anything.

I hope that helps.

You are expecting more from this command than is possible. For example, how would you use your method when the desired print size cannot fit on your screen?

Have XP Professional OS and Photoshop 7. When I bring up the View Print

Size command , the screen image is smaller than the actual size. At times I need to measure on-screen that size and it’s important that it is correct, What is the problem?

Or right click on the title bar of the open image; it’s all there!

George,

is correct, <<

Measuring ‘on-screen’ will in all probability NEVER be accurate (or even ‘close’) – it depends upon the zoom ration, the size of your monitor, and the resolution of your monitor.

Only by going to Image>Image Size will you get reliable dimensional information

Viewing at "print size" is just to give you an idea. PS has no information on how big your screen is.

As Len says, just read it from the Image Size dialog.
