Hi community, this is my first post. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Problem:

When Insert an image into my form (3"x4") and I choose the sizing dropdown to scale it to "Use Original Size" The Image increases way beyond it's correct scale. Im not sure what Im doing wrong.

Here is a screen shot from photoshop displaying the true size of the image:

Okay... So I figured out an answer. Instead of importing an image the typical way, I instead with photoshop open was able to selct drag the smart object directly from photoshop and drop on top of my form. then when I choose Use Original Size for whatever reason this time it gets the scale correct. Not sure why it doesn't work with the typical import method.

It's Important that these images are the correct scale. When the document is printed they need to be able to compare a physical profile with the image.

All I can think of is Designer isn't reading the dpi of the image properly. Sounds like it's using 72dpi.

Maybe try a different image format? (tiff, etc.)
