Percent number on the titlebar of Paint.NET

[zookey]

I searched for an answer to this question and read over 1500 topics but could find no answer.

What does that Percentage on the titlebar of Paint.NET stand for? I do notice that the lower that number is the slower the program. Normally it is in the 95% range but tonight it seems to be running below 15%. What can be done to increase this number and the speed of the program?

Thanks for any information you may share with me.

That percentage value represents the zoom level of the current canvas. when you open an image it will default to a percentage that will allow you to see the entire canvas in your screen.

It doesn't really have any effect on the performance of PdN.

try increasing the size of your image and you will see. up near the top the where it says window type in 100 does it say 100% now?

think that's what you are asking thru me for ages as well

Boy do I feel like a nube! That makes perfect sense, though. I also see how it would slow down the program. When applying the freeform shape and then filling it in -- when my titlebar said 12% -- the shape and fill area in reality were Huge in comparison to what I was seeing. Hense a very slow sense of completion.

Thanks for your responses!
