Graphics open at a percentage that allows PS to display the entire image.
Bob
Thanks for the note. However, there’s more than enough room on my screen and in the Photoshop window to open things at 100%.
I did just try an experiment where I created a JPEG that was 200×200 pixels…and it did in fact open at 100% view. That said, most things I work on are 800×600, and even though there’s plenty of room on my 19" monitor to open these at full size, they open at 66%. So…clearly Photoshop is making some sort of judgement/determination that files above a certain size get scaled.
I’d still like to solve this as it’s a pain in the rear to have to resize every single file I open.

Two fingers. Considerable fewer keystrokes than were used to type your post. 🙂
However – I do remember seeing somewhere that there is a way of making PS ignore the palette positions when opening an image. Someone may pop into this thread who knows the "secret".
Are you opening the images inside the PS workspace, or have you got the window "rolled up" so they open on the desktop?
You could also try resetting the default workspace. And you could also try resetting the preferences as detailed in the FAQs.
Hope this helps.
Chris.
If all else fails, create an action or script that essentially does a View Actual Pixels and add it to the Open even in the Script Event Manager.
You can try one of my scripts.

Double click on Zoom Tool (magnifier) = 100% view.

When Zoom Tool is selected just check both ‘Resize Windows to Fit’ and ‘Ignore Palettes’.
Larry, thanks for those scripts…for the most part they’re doing the trick. I’m not sure if something is set a little odd on my computer, but on their own…each of the scripts has a slight quirk:
– View Actual Pixels 100%: This does open the file at 100% view, but for some reason the window the image is in then resizes immediately after it opens and becomes a bit smaller…so you can see the scroll bars for both horizontal and vertical and need to resize the window manually if you want to see the entire image. (My guess is that the window is at 97.5% similar to the one below?)
– Fit Image on Screen: Opens the file at 97.5%
Again, not a big deal…I can live with the first scenario, but if you happen to know what I’m doing wrong, certainly let me know.
Thanks so much-
Hi Larry ^_^
The "Fit on screen" script is definitely useful!
I never even tried playing with the Script Manager before. This is a fun way to learn. I kind of thought scripting was rocket science…now I’m encouraged to look into it.

Robert: Trying out the "view 100%" does give me a consistent 100% zoom on my rig for any file I open, but the window shrinks to half width on my screen.
Robert, try to nudge the location of the toolbar (to put it a few pixles away from the side of the interface, or even save your workspace, then re-set it to default to see if it would change something. Is Photoshop maximized?
Move palettes away from the edge of your screen.
Hold the "Shift" key and move them back into place.
This will cause them to "Snap" into the optimum location. When this is done, Photoshop will then recognize this fact; subsequently, document windows will open where they are supposed to and will open to the nearest preset magnification which will display the entire image without scroll bars.
At least, this is the way it’s worked for a long time, up until PS 7.x. If this behavior has been changed in newer versions, I wouldn’t know.
Preferences; General; Zoom Resizes Windows
when clicking CTRL+ALT+0 the image will be at 100% zoom
