Photos blurred when viewed in Photos but become sharp in edit mode As a Mac user for over a decade, this is a new problem. It happens on my iMac and on a brand new MacBook Air. When viewing photos downloaded from cameras, the pictures are blurred when viewed on these devices but as soon as you enter edit mode, they instantly become sharp. This never used to happen, has started in the last few months - and has become very irritating. Why is this suddenly happening - and is there a remedy? Any advice gratefully received! G.

quicklook two finger double click to smart zoom not working for pictures Hi, recently I found that On my machine M2 macbook air, the two finger double click to smart zoom(automatically toggle between zoom in and zoom out) is not working for quicklook using space bar in Finder. But this is only for pictures. If I'm doing this to a PDF file, the smart zoom can work properly. Am I the only one? What Can I do to fix it?

MacOS 12.4 M1 iMac - Photo to wallpaper: Always out of focus Open Photos App, Open Desired photo for Wallpaper. In my case, resolution of photo is 4496 × 3000, Drag/Drop photo over to Settings Desktop (+ sign appears), Ensure Fit to Screen is selected, Now in Photos App, zoom/scale to same/similar size as wallpaper. I simply Enter Full Screen view mode. Notice how pixelated the wallpaper is compared to Photos App version? One other thing I noticed: In Settings->Desktop window, select dropdown option Center instead of Fit to Screen. A tiny version of the photo appears. Is this the photo being stretched to almost full screen? That might explain it. I don't recall running into this problem prior to Monterey on my M1.

This can happen when you enlarge a very low resolution image.

Please tell me you did not use any so-called "cleaner" app or utility that offers to delete unmodified (full resolution) original photos.

No I didn't, I'm a retired EE.
