Now when you view your Photoshop document at 100%, it should actually be an accurate 100%. Hit OK in the dialog box and you should be good to go.Leave the Print Resolution setting at 300, as that is the typical resolution for commercial printing. In the Screen Resolution box (just below the Print Resolution box) enter the DPI you got from step 3 above.In the dialog window, you’ll see New Document Preset Resolutions in the top right corner.
Open Photoshop’s Preferences (Command + K) and click the Rulers & Units item from the list on the left.On the little screen info area to the right, you’ll see stats about your screen, the first of which is the actual dpi of your screen.Next, visit PXCALC and enter that screen size resolution from the step above if it doesn’t automatically populate this info for you, and in the Diagonal Size box enter the physical dimensions of your screen and hit enter.My iMac is set to the maximum resolution of 2560×1440. Make note of your monitor’s resolution (you may have to click the Scaled radio button on modern Macs). First, go to your System Preference and click the Displays icon.The key to seeing things actual size in Photoshop is to make Photoshop and your screen the same resolution. The problem is that modern computers/screens are much higher resolution than 72 dpi. Create an 8.5 x 11 inch document in Photoshop, set the view to 100% and hold up a Letter size piece of paper and you’ll notice the difference. Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case in many years. That’s because when Adobe coded 100% view, it was based on all screens being 72 dpi. It’s almost always larger, depending on your Mac. Ever notice that when you view a Photoshop file at 100%, it’s not actually 100%.
