Picturesque Help > Solving Problems

Why does Picturesque appear to scale down my images?

When you drop an image into Picturesque, it creates a small, low quality preview of that image which you can see in the main window and apply effects to.

This preview is large enough to see what your final image will look like, but small enough so that we can apply effects to it in realtime. A text bar near the bottom of the window indicates how small the preview is compared to the final size:

When you save your image, your effects will be applied to the full quality, full resolution image.
