Windows 7: Preview Images at Native Size, not Full Screen

Preview Images at Native Size, not Full Screen

I'm using Windows Preview (from the contextual menu) to view image files. Pressing F11 results in a nice black background, but re-sizes the image larger than it's original, 100% size. It stretches the image to fill the monitor resolution. If you're viewing a 600px web image, this obviously looks terrible.

Mac OS X "slideshow" feature displays image files at their native resolution (100%), not stretched to fill the screen.



Is there a preference setting to fix this in Windows 7 Preview? Or maybe a hack to preview (in full screen mode) image files viewed at 100%?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any method to do this, although there may be a registry tweak out there somewhere. I highly suggest you download an alternative to the native program if you use the preview function often. Fastone Image Viewer is a good alternative and will have more options than the native program.
