I wonder if we simply use images for different purposes. I tend to look at them, not measure them.
Anyway, even if your method probably has its pros, it's inconvenient for the reader having to alter the distance to the screen. I don't even have room enough behind my screen to back off far enough for the crops to look sharp. So all this only leads to all of your crops looking like a blurry mess.
Posting images at any high magnification is difficult since everyone is using a different screen resolution — and add to that the fact that most of us with high res monitors have to have our browsers set to +1 or +2 zoom so that web content fills the screen more easily.
Posting 100% crops is particularly problematic unless one downloads the file manually, opens it in Photoshop, then zooms to 100% to see it as intended. If it’s simply viewed in the browser window, it’s always zoomed into 200% or more and requires reducing the browser view sometimes by -4 steps to see it at 100% as intended — and even then we have to guess if that’s 100% because there’s no way to confirm in the browser. As such, I NEVER post 100% crops because frankly they look like warmed over dog poop in the browser, and I have no control over the magnification the viewer will use. So when I post comparisons, I always zoom to 100% in C1 and take screenshots of the images side-by-side. Or I do the screenshots at 200% if that is where the meaningful differences show up.
