Subject: pixel count/Yardobe needs help

Hi...first time here....a document 960 pixels tall used to fit nicely on my monitor...however...lately a 1280x960 pic would require scrolling for the whole image to be seen...tried switching resolution down to 72,but nothing gets solved....this is driving me nuts as I work solely within the confines of my monitors....any advice would help ease the pain.....thanx a bunch.....Ray/Yardobe

Where are you trying to view these images - web browser, slideshow, Photoshop, etc.?

I am also wondering what you mean by the switched resolution to 72 pixels - that should be itty bitty teeny little block on your screen - unless of course you're talking about dpi - and then it doesn't matter at ALL what the dpi is set to when viewing on your computer. It's still 1280x960 pixels whether it's 10dpi or 600dpi. DPI only means something when you go to print an image - until then it doesn't mean anything.

You could try upping the res of your MONITOR to larger res than the image.

We need to know what the res on your monitor is set at

1024 x 768?

1280 x  1024 ?

1280 x 960 ?

also as asked above, what are you working with?

Web browser? Photoshop? or Just Wallpaper ?

1440x940...seems odd,I guess...22" wide screen...Photoshop giving me the blues....I used to max,or minimize,rather,to 1600 x whatever,maxing out at 960 for height....now I have to scroll at these settings...stumped,and BTW,thanks for replying,not sure I've done this right,but good to know help is just a few keystrokes away....180 dpi,but messing with that number,unless it's native 72 just screws things up further....will try the monitor thing...sorry,new at this forum stuff.....Ray

Again - keep in mind your dpi means nothing unless you go to print. The screen will display the actual pixels - 1280x960, etc.

If your monitor is set to 960 high (by whatever wide - doesn't matter), then an image that is 960 high you will need to scroll a little bit.

Why?

Because you have tool bars, menu bars, software top bars (see the attached image - the block in red), etc. - they all take up room and vary in pixel size - but they use a portion of that 960 so the image has to go below it. Hence, the scrolling...

Hope this makes sense - lemme know if that wasn't what you were looking for.

Not knowing what type of monitor you have, but if it's a 22" LCD widescreen (16:9), your native resolution on the monitor should be at 1680x1050.

I'm still not clear about this issue ...

When you speak of resolution, do you mean monitor resolution
... or do you mean image resolution? 

In order to check or change the monitor resolution you would show the desktop;
and then on an unused area of the desktop,

Right-Click -> properties -> settings ...

Please do that and tell us what you have there. 

OTOH, in Photoshop, you can set the image pixel count with

Image -> Image Size

Also in Photoshop, you can control the magnification of the current
workspace by using the key shortcuts 

Ctrl-Minus (Ctrl-) or

Ctrl-Plus (Ctrl+).
