HELP PLEASE URGENT!

[Sabrina The Turd Polisher]

All of a sudden images are coming into Indy at 50% of the size...why? Please tell me how to fix this.
I think the new help typed a key command to do such a thing and I have no idea how to fix it.

Are you using a script to place multiple images or just one at a time?

Have you opened one of the images in PS to check the "image size"... make sure they aren't rearranging pixel dimensions or have it set to metric? I've seen this happen.

[t-pat]

placing new images or relinking images into existing picture boxes? If the original image was scaled in the picture box and you relink to a new image it will keep the scaling percentage of the old. Also if you are linking to something that has page boxes (ai, pdf) check that you are using the same or that the original has not changed as far as page boxes.

If placing new images not into existing boxes I have no idea.

Not using a script, image size is fine in photoshop...it's weird. Does not place like that in Quack. Restarted Indy, I shall see. I there a control panel for DPI of your document in Indy?


PS: am not updating any images, these are new placements.

If all else fails, trash the Indy Plist.

[Sabrina The Turd Polisher]

Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do. Ugh. 

[Ear]

This problem has you quite vexed and distraught, doesn't it? 

[Skryber]

Sounds scripty to me.

Is there a "Scale Graphics" in your Scripts panel?

It seems that you may have set this up by accident.

To set format-specific import options, do one of the following:
   Select Show Import Options, and then click Open.
      Hold down Shift as you click Open or Shift-double-click a file name.
      Note: When you place a graphic created in Illustrator 9.0 or later by using the Show Import Options dialog box, the options are identical to those for PDFs. When you place an Illustrator 5.5–8.x graphic, the options are identical to those for EPS files.

Yes, I'm sure this is an accidental key command.

This scaling "feature" seems to be size dependent. Small items come in at 100%, really large photos come in at 25% (but not all?), some come in as 50%.

I guess I'm going to trash the prefs. Thanks David for the tip. And I'll check back to see what else you great people have to say.

Sasquatch with old spice... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Would that be 'CONTROL' on a PeeCee?
