OK, I am confused or just dumb sometimes. I see comments that a photo is 50% or 100% crop. In my thinking if I crop 100% there is nothing left. Or is it backwards? Does 100% crop mean original image, nothing cropped away? What is the definition of XX% crop?

Mark,


Just open any image in a viewer or editor: (These are typical apps on my PC)


1) Irfanview: View/Display Options/Fit Images to Window (1:1, recommended) Down in the left tray of the program you will see 100%


2) Picasa3: After opening a single image there is a button lower right (1:1) Click it. Look at the thumbnail lower right. It says "Zoomed to 100%"


3) Microsoft Office Picture Manager: There is a pulldown on the default tool bar. Set it to 100%


4) Photoshop: View/Actual Pixels look in the lower left corner of the image box. It says 100%


I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
