Why is it that when I post photos to DW, they always display as larger than actual size? I have to add a parameter like width="80%" to make them look the same size as they do in my image editor, when I'm displaying them actual size there.
Before I had thought it was browser specific, but now it seems to be happening in all browsers. And I can't tell if other people see the images large or actual sized.
It must be due to me having Windows configured to display things at 125%.

But at 100%, everything (icons, menus, etc.) is too small for my comfort, so I need to keep it at 125%.
I'm glad that the image editor still shows the image at the actual size, at least. I started wondering if there's a way to force the browser to ignore the 125% setting when rendering pages, but then I suppose the webpage text and navigation buttons would look too small. There's no way for the browser to know which images I want scaled, and which ones not.
The reason why this has bothered me when I post images, is that they always look nice and crisp in the image editor, but due to the scaling, they look less crisp / somewhat blurry in the browser. But I'm glad to know now that's due to my own settings, rather than DW changing the image somehow when displaying it.

Background: first saw it a month ago; it sits on the base of a tree across the street from the apartment I was cleaning that week. I should've taken pics then - it looked exactly like a frog from near the apartment's front door - but I guess I figured no one'd believe it or care (though come to think of it,
I should browse my gallery now to make sure I never did- if I did, the pics are gone now).A month later it's got black spots and has melted a little. But I think it still looks like....something with two eyes.
Here's a clearer pic:

Distance is key; even when it was fresher, up close it would no longer resemble a frog. But the black spots are new to it from the last time I was there (so fungus has got a mold now. I'm truly fascinated by nature's layers upon layers of creation).

Kind of like a cute little sad-face frog looking to the left with two little arms under its face. That's what I'd seen a month ago but it was much clearer then.
