guessing qimage is 100% larger then the windows viewer.
The size of the image you see, how much it overlaps the panels depends upon the monitor and screen resolution you have set.
If I have a monitor set to 1600 x 1200 and I insert an image into a comparator panel which is half as wide (since you have 2 panels,) I have 800 pixels to work with and I shoot for 5616, you can see how mucj image I see, and how much I have to scroll.
But, that's why you have the zoom out feature, to show your image at less than 100% size.
The Windows Picture viewer comes on with "Best fit" CTRL B, and offers Actual size, CTRL A.
That's only one image not two like the Qimage comparitor, and that is to large too for the allowed screen. So you have scroll bars there too.
Hope that clears some of it up for you.
