I have to use CS2 open multiple-files at one time. I notice that it always opened at size = 16.67%. Then I have to manually enlarge them to 20% for size that can usable.

How can I setup size = 20% as default for File > Open?

Thanks,
Chutima S.

The view when you open a file is 100% or a preset percentage that is large as possible while showing you the whole image. If your files were bigger or smaller you would see a different percentage upon opening.

FYI <ctrl + > and <ctrl – > will enlarge and reduce the view quite easilly

If you don’t need your tools and palettes right away, you can clear them out of the way (hit the Tab key) before you open the files. They’ll open in bigger windows, since they have more workspace available.

You can’t.
It’s only possible to open at 100% (Actual Pixels) or Fit on Screen automatically by making an Action and putting it in the Scripts Events Manager…

In CS2, you could create an action to size the image display and set this action to be run automatically when you open an image.

Michael,

action to size the image display

Not arguing here, just curious because I don’t know how to record a zoom percentage other than 100% or Fit screen …

Hmm… you’re right. Can one use a script to set the zoom? If so, you could set the zoom script to run when an image is opened.

You can always record an action that zooms to 100% then
zooms in or out by a fixed number of steps. You won’t get 20% for example, but you can easily get (say) 25%.
