This includes photos, which normally have even dimension length and width, and of course also displayed full screen on even dimension screens. Just leave it one pixel to the side, no big deal! One pixel uncentered is nothing compared to the quality loss we see.īut there is also the significant issue with blurry display of images larger than the window (like all digital photos), which the Microsoft Answers thread you linked has been covering since 2015. It should be common sense for images smaller than the window size that they should be not perfectly centered in those odd pixel situations.

It's ridiculous that the app apparently prioritizes centering the image, to the severe detriment of display quality. Yes, this explains the issue with images smaller than the screen or window size quite well. Please upvote the Feedback Hub entry here- from the Microsoft Answers thread. Hey, glad to see someone else complaining about this. It looks like that option is completely missing from the right-click menu if the image is small enough to fit completely within the window at 100%. But, I was able to get the "view actual size" option you were referencing to appear with a larger image. It's dumb that Photos was made the default image viewer with a fundamental bug like this, and honestly just insane that Microsoft removed access to Windows Photo Viewer without a registry hack.įYI, from my testing it doesn't seem like image size has anything to do with it. The fact that nothing was implemented to fix this and snap image placement to the pixel grid just speaks to incredible laziness and lack of attention to detail on the part of the developers. So basically, assuming image and window heights and widths are uniformly random, there's only a 25% chance the image displays correctly. You can get all 4 states with the same image: pixel perfect, blurred horizontally, blurred vertically, and blurred in both directions.

This is very easy to see by opening a small image, then adjusting the width and height of the Photos window by one pixel at a time.

So if the width or height of the image are not both an even number of pixels or both an odd number of pixels, the image is not aligned to the grid when centered and displays as blurry. Photos tries to center the image in the window/canvas, but with no consideration to keeping the image aligned to the pixel grid. It has to do with the relationship between the width/height of the Photos window and the width/height of the image. Just a sampling of the places this has previously been discussed or reported: How do you release an image viewing app where the fundamental feature of displaying pixels from an image 1:1 is broken? If a CS student wrote an image viewer for a class project and it didn't display pixels correctly at 100% scale, they would get a failing grade. It boggles my mind that the engineers that work on Photos eitherĪ) have never ran into this bug in their day-to-day workī) have actually ran into it, but don't have the attention to detail to notice something's wrongī) saw the result of their work, noticed it's broken, but said "ehhh, ship it anyways"Ĭome on, Microsoft. (view at 100% on a desktop monitor to see the difference)
