Hi all,

I'm running CS2, and when i open a document of any type the size of the image isn't accurate. For example: when i open an image of 800x600 pixels and set the magnification to 100%, i should easily be able to see the whole image on my screen, however i can only see a small section of it. To view the whole picture i have to reduce the magnification to 25%.

When i look at the rulers at 100% magnification an inch for example displays as more like 2 inches.

I'm using a 20" monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050 so there shouldn't be a problem viewing these images at 100%

I hope that all makes sense,
Does anyone one have any ideas why photoshop is doing this?

many thanks

How many PPI are you using? thats going to make a difference to the display size, CS2 default display size is 72 PPI. Wayne
