Vista - Viewing an image's actual size and disabling blur in Photo Gallery

In the old Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it was really easy to view the
image in it's original size. There was an "Actual Size" button. This is
gone in the new Photo Gallery and the only way to zoom seems to be using the
slider, but you can't tell when you've reached the original size.

Is there an "Actual Size" function in Photo Gallery similar to the old
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer?

Also I notice that when images are opened there is a blurring effect when it
loads and then it goes into focus. Is this something that can be disabled?

Thanks

Unfortunately the UI for this feature didn't make it in time for Beta 2. It
will be there in the RC1\RTM release.

I believe the quick key does work in the beta 2 builds (CTRL+ALT+0).

Thanks!
