Preview picture display sizes weirdness
In Mac OS 9 The Blue Meanie used to use QT Pictureviewer as his default image viewer app and it worked groovily. But when he upgraded to Mac OS X and started using Preview instead, weird things started to happen.
Jpegs sometimes display and even print in a strange shrunken format (ie in roughly thumbnail rather than actual size) - and sometimes they don't. The shrunken size particularly happens with images taken from websites, and the only thing to do when it does occur is to zoom in the viewing size and drag the picture wider - or export it as a QT image - both fiddly and irritating.
Preview has no preferences I can set differently. This never happened with PictureViewer. Anyone got any ideas?
Come to think of it, this is something I've only really become aware of over the last couple of months. Is it a bug in X 10.1?

The Thrash-man has spoken.
Why, Apple, why? Pictureviewer worked fine. Why complicate things?
