Opening Files in Photoshop at 66%

    Hello, First, I'd like to say thanks for a ton of helpful info.  
Second, I  have a question that is probably really easy to fix.  
Maybe a little more  help? I work with a ton of digital photography 
in preparation for a website, and  I deal with both horizontal and 
vertical formats.  Recently, when I open a  vertically-oriented 
photo, it defaults open to 66% view, while the horizontal  
defaults open to 100%.  The majority of our photos are taken 
with vertical  oritentation and I am curious as to what may 
have caused them to open at 66% all  of a sudden? Is it a 
preference that I don't know of?  Did I click a box  somewhere? 
When opening, should I be holding a button that I'm not?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Nate Ludens

Nate... that's a "feature" in Photoshop! (grinning)

You see, Photoshop wants to present you with the image so that it all fits in the screen. Once it's larger than the screen PS wants to scale the image small enough to fit the screen. There is no fix that I know of.

Anybody else have a solution?
