Simultaneous view at different sizes?

"Izak van Langevelde" wrote in message

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 32×32 and 16×16. 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 48×48 but needs some work on, say, 32×32 and 16×16. Now it would be really helpful to have the 48×48 as a layer which shows through the 32×32 I’m working at, so that I can see for each 32×32 pixel the corresponding 48×48 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.
