How do I get Preview Size > Reduced to stick?

I'm prolly missing something really obvious here: I was editing some smaller images (768x768) but nevertheless wanted the View menu > Preview Size > Reduced to persist. However, each time I open Filter Forge to apply a filter, it always goes back to Actual, which I don't want.

I checked the options and it looks like the closest thing is Rendering tab > "Reduce preview size for large images". But nothing more specific.

Is there a way to get it to stick like I want? Thanx in advance!

Hi Torley,

I just took a look at this and I am still not sure what you mean. I just zoom in and
out as need be.

There is a "lock preview" function but that relates to locking the view to a single
filter component.

There was a response to one of my queries about image size, that since FF is designed
as a plug in that this type of function may not have been considered important.
It sounds like a 'save settings' type of thing that you are looking for.

Perhaps resizing the image before entering FF may help.

On size perception I think that relates to the screen resolution you may be using.

On my screen 768 x 768 is only a medium size image.

I run my resolution at 1280 x 1024 on a 20 in. monitor.

And FF would not consider 768' to be that large as it's upper most limit is like
65,000 pixels if I remember correctly.

I hope some of this helps.

Currently, there's no way to do that automatically. To do this quickly, you can use the right-click menu.
