Just curious

I have two pics (I chose as examples):

1) 4"W X 4.22"H (600 pixels W X 633 pixels H) Resolution 150 p/in
2) 4.947"W X 3.36"H (742 pixels W X 504 pixels H) Resolution 150 p/in

I have two questions:

1) Why does the second come into PShop at 100% zoom and the first at 67% zoom even if I change the zoom factor of the second to 67% and save it? How did that get set and how did it get saved? I must have done it, but I forget how or why.

2) Why is the second pic smaller than the first pic in Bridge’s thumbnail view? It just looks wrong.

Thanks

Jethro

The zoom factor doesn’t get saved. When Photoshop opens an image, it shows the image as large as possible, but within certain zoom factors only. So the image will be zoomed to 100%, or 67% if it’s too large for 100%, or 50%, or 33%, or 25%, etc. The reason why your first image is zoomed to 67% is because it is apparently too high for 100%. If you had a bigger display (or if you set your display to a higher resolution if that is possible) the image will show at 100%.

2) Why is the second pic smaller than the first pic in Bridge’s thumbnail view? It just looks wrong.

That’s probably because of the different aspect ratio if the images. Your first image is almost square, but the second is more rectangular.
