DPP editor image size

[gscotten]

I installed the latest version of Canon's DPP software today for a little play. I was comparing it side by side to LrC. Clicking on the 100% button in DPP only gave me an image size of 80% that of Lightroom. I also checked Windows Photo Viewer, PS, and FastStone and they all agreed with LrC. Anybody have any idea what is going on? 100% should be one image pixel per screen pixel!

Any chance that it is reading the scaling for my laptop screen (125%) and using that with my two external displays that are actually scaled at 100%? I can't get it to open on my external monitors, so I have to drag it over from the laptop screen.

I have 4.19.30 installed. I just tried it. I right clicked and got this on my MacBook Air. I'm away now but I know I could get 100% on my iMac back at home.

I've never seen 80%

I should have added both my displays are set to native resolution.

This morning I reset my laptop screen to 100% scaling, opened DPP, and moved it to one of my external monitors. DPP now shows the proper size. Not a workable solution for me, but an answer.

I guess I wasn't clear. When I selected 100% it actually only gave me an image 80% as large as that. For example, an image 1200 pixels high should give an image exactly the height of my 1920 x 1200 screen. Instead it only covered 960 pixels.

It turns out that DPP is not recognizing that I am moving the DPP window to one of my large external monitors. It also doesn't remember the last display it was opened on, so it always opens on the laptop screen. These have been standard features on Windows machines for decades.

I see.

Thanks for the info.

That's interesting. Running DPP in Windows, it reliably opens in the last window it was in. 100% of the time.
