Thanks - I asked in the GIMP subreddit, we'll see what happens. What I mean by manual binary search is to zoom in/out until the image shows at scale. Something like this (note, numbers aren't exact binary search numbers because that would be too tedious to calculate, but you get the idea): 1) Image loads at 50% zoom. 2) Image is too big. Zoom to 33.3%. 3) Image is too small. Zoom to 44%. 4) Image is too big. Zoom to 40%. 5) Image is close but too small. Zoom to 40.5% etc, until the image is life scale. It usually takes 10-15 steps. Not a big deal, but entering zoom percentages manually over and over gets tedious. It would be faster to just have "make it larger" and "make it smaller" buttons that worked in a binary search manner. We aren't modifying the image in any way, just changing the zoom. -- Smo (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
