Author Simultaneous view at different sizes?
Izak van Langevelde

2006-05-10, 10:16 pm

With icon design in mind, it would be useful to have a number of windows
for the same picture, at different sizes, so that I can see how an image
would look at 32x32 and 16x16. Also, it would be useful to create
different layers for sifferent resolutions. Any clue how to achieve this?

Under CS (I don't have CS2 at this location), go to Window - Arrange - New
Window for...

The windows zoom and size separately.

It's a pretty stupid place to put the feature, but there ya go...

Looks like this is not present in Photoshop 7.0...

It is there somewhere. I used it in 7.0. Look under View, or you might have
to revert to the Help menu.

Windows->Documents->New Window Thanks!

Any clue about combining different sizes in different layers?

Transform - scale? I'm really not sure what you mean.

Seems like that would just give you a new blank window.

In Photoshop 6 (Mac) it's under View>New View

Let's give it a try. I designed an icon, which looks great at 48x48 but
needs some work on, say, 32x32 and 16x16. Now it would be really helpful
to have the 48x48 as a layer which shows through the 32x32 I'm working
at, so that I can see for each 32x32 pixel the corresponding 48x48
pixel.

File->New gives you a new blank window. Window->Document->New Window
gives you a new window for the current document.

Ah. Don't have that in 6.

You can make an action to create a new window and to zoom in or out. You have to use the "insert menu item" to get the new window
and zoom commands into the action. Open up one of you images and then create the action.

He's not wanting just New View windows though, he's wanting the ability
within layers to see through one to the other at different magnifications,
which, AFAIK, isn't happening. All layers share the same magnification in
the window, right?

Under Photoshop CS:

Window> Arrange> New window for [currently selected file]

Pity they couldn't be a little more consistent.

Again, under Photoshop CS:

You can change the magnification of one window, but you can't edit one view
without affecting the other. This could be useful though -- I just put up a
portrait of somebody with lots of moles, duplicated the window, zoomed in on
one, and used clone stamp to get rid of the moles while watching the results on
the normal size window.

I think the OP wants different magnifications for different *layers* of the
same document window though. Might be useful, but don't think it exists.
