Photoshop is making images much smaller than they should be?

For the past few days I've noticed that photoshop cc is making images a lot smaller than they should be. Gyazo - 808954b9bf9820c170ff5a754cfd7cc7.png this is a screenshot of an image that is supposed to be 150x300px at it's actual size. Gyazo - 209ed889e4dd9d3e36e824869c2974d0.png this is the image when uploaded to the internet (chrome at 100%). As you can see not only the size changes but it goes blurred as if it's being stretched. I haven't been in to preferences and I've no idea why! I've tried a few things to no avail, any suggestions?

Are you zooming the browser? Ctrl+ and ctrl- zooms the entire browser window.


After waisting couple hours on this, I thought I checked that. Than noticed it, it was at 110%, I felt so dumb. I need actuator get glass and didn't noticed it was at 110 😞

Yeah Mine is the same thing, the document that I created is super tiny, and I wonder why?

Your image is (or has been scaled down to) only a couple of pixels. It displays correctly. Check Image Size.

I had the same annoying change when my boss bought a newer Mac. I work primarily in large format media so it threw me off a lot. The COMMAND+1 to see things at 100% was one of my most often used shortcuts.

Now my monitor is higher res so that makes them look half the size they used to. So basically, I just made a new keyboard shortcut- COMMAND+SHIFT+1  It was super easy to add. Just go under the EDIT>KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS, then scroll down to VIEW, then down to where it says "Fit Artboard on Screen".  Add the new shortcut to the 200% slot & everythign will visually appear like it used to at 100%. This is how artists problem-solve rather than technicians:) We make decisions based on how things are visually, not mathematically. I hope this helps you as much as it did for me. Within a few days of adding SHIFT to that old command, it's 2nd nature now. Only time I zoom in my artboard to 100% now is when I'm working on really fine details.

NOTE TO PROGRAMMERS: Creative Suite is supposed to be a tool for visual artists. Maybe put a bit more consideration into how things look & appear more than just how they "work".

    100% in Photoshop has nothing to do with size.

     

    It means one image pixel is represented by exactly one physical screen pixel.

     

    How big that appears on screen depends on the screen resolution, not Photoshop. This is purely a property of the physical display panel.

    Most certainly it is a photoshop issue.

    You also should check windows scale for monitor. It looks like that screenshot. If you have 125% as recomened in laptops all software will show images biger than it is. Exept photoshop thant shows 100% correct size.
    Try to change Display scale in WIndows preferances to 100% and compare.

    I tried that but if I put a smaller percentage the image in photoshop gets smaller. I do not understand why the images look bigger out of photoshop but so small in photoshop.

      I have looked at your screenshots, and it seems that your monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080, so this is not a HiDpi monitor issue.

      Also, Photoshop is displaying the image correctly at 150 x 300 pixels, but Chrome seems to have scaled the image up to 150% - 225 x 450 pixels.

      If you are certain that Chrome is set to 100% zoom, it's possible is that the Tinypic website is scaling the image to 150%.

      Another possibility is that you inadvertently scaled the image before uploading.

      You can post the actual image here if you like, it's easy to check the pixel dimensions.

      Thanks for your reply. It doesn't look the right size to me as I've noticed it looking smaller. I've uploaded the image below and it looks the same as it did on tinypic, it has that blurry look too! So confused

      The image is the same size as in your screenshot from Photoshop - 150 x 300 pixels.

      Have you tried using a different browser?
