I am having a devil of a time understanding "100%" or 1:1 in LrC terms.
I am trying to understand this because I want to check for focus and I am under the impression that anything greater than 100% or 1:1 is the software adding pixels, so there is little point at looking at magnification greater than that.
Except... it doesn't feel right. I always look at my images at 200-300% to check for focus. If I left it at 100% everything would look in focus.
My monitor is 3840x2160 resolution, but it has a "scale" of 200% and my ORF images say they are are 5240x3912.
In LrC, while in Library, I can select 100% and see an outlined subset of my ORF which I presume is 100% view, but is it really? Doesn't my monitor resolution play into this somehow? Like maybe 1:1 is really "200%" in LrC because of the scaling factor set in my monitor.
Sorry to be a dunce on this, but it isn't clicking with me
