Old zoom function better for me
I use IV as default image editor. Among many uses is to preview the images taken with my digital camera. To get a good idea of how the image would look if printed or resized for screen use, I used to be able to view at 50%.
50% is by far the best scaling, giving the lowest resizing artefacts such as stepping in diagonals.
Now, I can't do this without actually resizing the image (via ctrl+R > alt+H > Return) and of course this is lost if I navigate to another image.
Also as the scaling is now random, it's not easy to compare 2 images (via 2 instances of IV) at the same scale if they have different original dimensions.
e.g. comparing the output from 2 cameras
If things are to be changed, better to have a series of fixed sizes
e.g. 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%, etc
A real step backwards for photographers.
