    Image appears smaller in Photoshop than in Mac Preview

    My first post and probably a stupid question but I just can't understand this: Why do my photos look a lot smaller at 100 % zoom in Photoshop than on the web or Mac preview? When I check the image size and DPI they are exactly the same (for example 1500x1000 pixels, 72 DPI). Please help me...

    Photoshop DPI question

    I have a very large file (psb) for print, can i change the dpi to lets say 50 and work on it that way, and when it is finished change it back to 150dpi without losing quality? It is way easier to work that way, sincs working at 150 is immensely slow. Thanks!
