c.pfaffenbichler Dec 1, 2014 11:44 PM (in response to Images small)Regarding the Canvas Size dialog you could uncheck "Relative".
As for the rest: Do you not understand the concept of pixels or what View > 100% means in Photoshop?
The screenshot you posted clearly shows the image at 100% (one image pixels is being represented by one screen pixel) – 1040px x 400px. Feel free to measure it yourself if you don’t believe me.

Images small Dec 2, 2014 7:38 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)Aggressive response but I do believe you. I also completely understand the concept of pixels and what view 100% means. However, what you clearly do not understand is the concept of pixels in a retina display. Something I was also unaware of and discovered since posting this question. Let me explain to you without being as condescending.
When using a computer with retina display, pixels are actually measured in 2x2.
So, in order for me to see what you see, I need to use PS in low-resolution mode OR set my canvas to 2080x800

I may not be as courteous or considerate as would be desirable but I see no inveracity or insult in my post so I don’t intend to apologise for it.
If you on the other hand consider your statement
if I save an image off the web that is 1040x400, open it in PhotoShop and just hit save, the image saves 1/2 of the size it should be at 520x200 even though Photoshop says it is 1040x400 when you view the image size...
can you truthfully say that your claim (Photoshop saving the image at the wrong size) was not incorrect?
In any case feel free to use the "Report Abuse" function if you feel I have violated the proper code of conduct, but please stick to this public Forum to articulate your point on issues that can well be discussed in and pertain to an existing thread thereon.
However, what you clearly do not understand is the concept of pixels in a retina display.
If Web Browser and/or OS makers decide that any number of non-vector and non-type image pixels should be upsampled to four times that amount of screen pixels then that may be of import for web design oriented Photoshop users but from an image editing standpoint for Photoshop to emulate that behaviour would seem not only unnecessary but even disruptive.
As far as I am concerned web browsers are not the ultimate arbiters of the "real size" of images.
