GMIC zoom, less than 100% - mrkid - 07-29-2025
Hi! I have been using GMIC to enhance some old scannings... Great!
But i noted that when working with big images, or not sooo big, the preview of most GMIC filters is fixed in 100%. You can use more zoom BUT NOT LESS. That is annoying since you cant see what will result unless you apply it and shut the GMIC window.
Is there something im missing about this? Thanks.

The preview in G'MIC is intended to be as much precise as possible only with the default selected scale. That's why some filters renders a global view for the image, while others render a 1:1 pixel ratio.
I can't see anything changing in the future. For various reasons not much development in the gimp QT plugin planned.

Thanks! The "Always enable preview zooming" is ok for me. The little warning icon when changing default zoom is enough to remember the risk. I dont expect so much of a Preview anyway, just a vague idea of what i will get.
