Hi,

I am using PS7.0.1 to design and edit cover templates for a series of journals.

I always use the same routine of placing the chosen image into a circular text box in quark (for position), saving as eps and rasterizing the result in photoshop so that I can paste the image into a .psd template and export to tiff.

Now for some reason for the past 3 months when I cut my image and paste to the psd it pastes at about quadruple the size (or more) and comes right off the page and I have to scale it right the way back down! I have checked my export options in quark and i am exporting at 100% size, everything else seems to be in order. I checked that my raseterizing resolution matched that of the template .psd and cannot find any other reason why this may be happening.

I know this isnt the end of the world but this procedure used to work fine and Im absolutely stumped as to what is causing this.

Anyone have any clues??
