Maintain Windows high dpi setting while showing images at original size?
I have windows 7 set to 200% dpi. That's the way I want it to be with FF, so that the tabs & buttons are scaled too, no just the page contents. Only issue is the images get scaled up too & I prefer to see those in their actual sizes. Any ideas?

This might do it try this add on:
Applying different zoom levels to text and images may distort the page layout. Also, I don't think there's any convenient built-in way to do it.
If you install the following extension, you'll be able to right-click any image and change the image's zoom level to 50% to show the "actual size", but it is an extra step:

Thank you, but neither of these do it.
To clarify to jscher2000, I didn't mean to adjust image size on webpages in general, only when viewing image files directly, i.e., the link ends in png or jpg or whatever image format. I might have gone with your linked extension but there is no option to load images zoomed to a certain level by default, so it's no different from just using Ctrl+scroll down for me.
Hi zetapulse, I think the difference is the Image Zoom extension only applies to the one image and isn't saved as a site-specific preference. Which is better really depends on where the images are hosted.
There probably is a way to restyle the built-in "stand-alone image" viewing page. For example, there was a huge outcry when the page changed from having the image in the upper left corner on a default background to a centered image on a black background, and solutions for that were posted around that time. (Time doesn't permit me to research that at the moment.)
