Zoom

[h._fiona_cochran]

<p>I know this may sound like an odd question, but...</p>

<p>Does photoshop have a zoom limit and is there any way to override it? I can't get it to zoom past 1600%. Then again I am using CS(1). </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No afaik 1600% is the maximum, that applies to later versions as well.</p>

<p>I'm interested - why do you need such a high zoom level?</p>

<p>Yep, when you get to max zoom you can't make much out anyway!</p>

<p>You can't get closer then that on photoshop, but to need zoom level beyond that would mean that you're playing around with insanely large original files. I know the deal since I noticed the same issue when I cleaned up a file sized 250cm x 160cm (330dpi), but in the end I got by 1600% and even levels less then that just fine. Unless you have files which you plan on getting printed in sizes of several meters, I don't see the need of larger enlargement. Of course my point is highly personal.</p>

<p>I work at 800% or even 1600% when I'm doing bit-level editing and blemish removal. It's not that uncommon.</p>

<p>My goal, essentially is to enlarge the pixels into bigger blocks. I have already lowered the pixels per inch down to 1 per square inch and I am trying to simply get them blown up. </p>

<p>My goal, in the end is kind of a handmade photomosaic in which I manually sample all he pixels and choose an image of the correct color from a preselected library of imagery. I want it to be of a very choppy/blocked nature, so that you have to stand very far away to see it. </p>

<p>I basically want to make my final project something that is about 20 by 30 with only one pixel per square inch. </p>

<p>Simply go into Photoshop...Image - Size and resample. If your image is at 10" wide, then change the pixel count to 10.</p>
