UVW Edtior image size confusion

Craminator

When I load a image into my materials in max and display them in the UVW editor background they seem too small. So the other day I was working with two different images. One was 512 x 512 and the other is 512 x 32. The 512 x 32 displays at double or triple the size - which is what I want my 512 x 512 to show up as.





I'm at the same zoom ratio on both images. It'd be really nice to get a bigger display than the default checker size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't there an options button in UVW unwrap edit window with the latest max 2012 version? In 2009 there is an option panel that drops down and reveals some bitmap image options where you can set the dimensions of the bitmap image.

Yes, its called custom bitmap size and you want it disabled if you want the images displayed at their correct size.
