In lightroom, or any other image viewer, expand the image to 100%, then take a screen shot of the area of interest. On a Mac that is 'Shift + Command + 4 >drag selection and release mouse button', I am sure there will be some key chord to make a selection screen shot on a PC.
100% = one image pixel for one screen pixel.
In fact it has lost some quality from me to you, when I compare the crop I made here with the same image on the forum it's not quite as good but it does convey my message, or at least I think it does...
Hope that clarifies it!
So...does this forum software display your embedded images at 100%?
I thought it compressed them.
It only compresses large images, above 1024 pixels I think. It does compress the quality (tonal range?) too of course.
The '100%' image I posted is exactly the same size as my crop, which was at 100% magnification in lightroom which is exactly the same as 100% in photoshop, I can't see where the confusion lies, magnify the image to 100% ie. 1 screen pixel = 1 image pixel and do a screen shot of an area of interest?
Probably just a mental block.
