    It’s useful in photography. 8K is 33 megapixels, which some modern cameras can exceed (whereas 4K is 8 megapixels which every camera exceeds).

      Not really, there isn’t much of a point in viewing your images at native resolution while editing. In fact in lightroom when you’re viewing the entire image you’re always looking at downscaled version anyway for performance reasons and need to punch in to see actual pixel level detail.

          You’d definitely want to zoom in for that anyway unless you’re working on a huge screen and looking at it upclose. I’m literally a pro lol.
