Viewing Images at Full Resolution

Most digital cameras let you save images in different formats and image sizes. Aperture
displays your images to fit the Viewer size, providing a reduced view. If you have a large
display or two displays, you can increase the size of the Viewer to display your images
at sizes closer to their full-resolution size.

A full-resolution image shows every pixel of an image. You can set Aperture to display
your image at full resolution, even though the image may not fit within the Viewer.
Viewing images at full resolution allows you to inspect your images using the finest
level of detail possible.

To display a selected image at full resolution, do one of the following:

m

Choose View > Zoom to Actual Size (or press Z).

m

Click the Zoom Viewer button in the control bar.

Click the button again to turn off the full-resolution display.

When an image doesn’t fit within the area of the Viewer, a small, gray box appears on
your image with a red rectangle inside, showing the portion of the image that is
currently visible in the Viewer. You can drag the red rectangle within the gray box to
see other parts of the image, also known as panning.
