[Gimp-user] Changing Image Zoom default

[Roundball <forums gimpusers com>]

> 12.5 is not a 'default' value it is the value that will fit the image

> It comes from Edit -> Preferences -> Image Windows-> Initial zoom
> ratio where the options are **Fit to window** or **1:1**
>
> 1:1 with a 6231x4212 pix image will be 100% but that is not the way to
> go.

> The usual way is to use the mouse scroll wheel + ctrl key (or if using
> a laptop the equivalent on the mouse pad, up/down right-hand-side
> usually). Ctrl + scroll will zoom in and out. The advantage is it
> zooms in/out around the mouse cursor, so you zoom in to the bit of
> interest.
>
> If you need a fixed zoom then you can always set up keyboard shortcut
> to one of the zoom values.
