Display images at 100%
A zoom setting of 100% provides the most accurate view, because each image pixel is displayed by one monitor pixel. (At other zoom settings,
image pixels are interpolated to a different amount of monitor pixels.)
Do one of the following:
Double-click the Zoom tool in the toolbox.
(Creative Cloud) Choose View > 100% or, click 100% in either the Zoom tool or Hand tool options bar.
Choose View > Actual Pixels or, click Actual Pixels in either the Zoom tool or Hand tool options bar.
Enter 100% in the Status Bar and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
The 100% view of an image displays an image as it will appear in a web browser (at the current monitor resolution).
