Hi there,
How comes that iPhoto doesn't diplay small pictures correctly (big pixels), and it seems that there is no way to display the picture in it's original size (like in Preview).
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Why not just zoom in/out?
Sometimes it's helpful to have an image appear really big (when trying to remove red-eye, for example).

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
The problem is that it seems that iphoto zooms for me instead of leaving the picture as it is (small), so the pixels are too big.
Try to import a small picture to iPhoto and you'll see that the picture doesn't look good at all...
What do you think I should do?
Thanks!

Yeah, a limitation of iPhoto. In most cases they probably are expecting people to use at least 640x480...if not 1 megapixel

you may need to try another program.

FileBrowser in Photoshop CS is great stuff.
