I always wondered if I could see the actual print size in Photoshop or Illustrator since it would be a huge help for my designs, to check if the type is legible or if the designs are too small etc. I used to hold the printed paper against my screen to find the correct zoom percentage. It's a bit funny, I know! Recently I learned that Photoshop can actually measure this but I needed to configure the settings for it to work! So I've collected what I've learned into an article and it's live on my blog. If you're a hybrid scrapper this might benefit you Read it here and set up your "actual" print size; https://sahindesigns.com/actual-print-size-in-photoshop-illustrator/
That is so helpful! I used to do the same thing whenever I got a new monitor... I'd hold up a ruler and figure out what zoon percentage showed me pretty close to print size... that was mostly so I could decide on what font size I'd be able to read in my books! Great article and so much more accurate! I'll be doing this tonight!
thanks for the article! ditto the ruler to screen here and i find i increase the size of wordstrips and small text elements these days also but i haven't printed anything lately, i probably should to see if i'm scaling them up too much but i'd prefer to be able to read them in the future when i look back than to have to pull out a magnifying glass ;-)
