What does "skewed" mean – it becomes a trapezoid?
How are you viewing it so that it appears skewed – in PS? What happens if you use Save For Web and save it as a PNG?
Let’s get the definitions out of the way:
Phos, I was being extreme for the sake of example. that said, a trapezoid is skewed, just on a different plane.
Michael,
I don’t know squat about AE – maybe it’s resizing the image when you import it. But the issue you seem to be having trouble with is image dimensions, not skew <smile>.
And your image is not skewed, it’s stretched.
Are you sure you have square pixels set in Photoshop?

I wasn’t necessarily pointing that infographic at you, Tony. I made it just as a general thing for anyone who happened to wander in.
"Skewed" is one of those terms that many people use incorrectly to describe something that is actually rotated. And the distinction is an important one, because those two different deviations from upright-and-square can be caused by very different things.
One example: When I was managing and working on high speed/high volume laser printing, rotational aberration was almost always fixed by some simple adjustments to the physical document path through the machine, and possibly common mechanical parts replacement. Skewed documents were the result of bad circuit boards that had to be replaced in the DocuTech system at a cost of pretty near $25,000.
Oh, and C.N. hit the nail on the head. This is a case of pixel-aspect ratio being imported into AfterEffects. (Don’t have PS CS, so I can’t be more specific).
Oh, and a little further clarification, just for you, Tony.
🙂 XD
Trapezoidal "skewing" is commonly referred to as "keystoning."

Phos,
Is "anal retentive" hypenated? Kidding.

No, I got your point. I was jest havin fun
I dunno. But if was really A.R., I’d be in a worrying tizzy over whetheras a native PennsylvanianI’m reverentially required to capitalize "keystoning."
Thanks. That was the problem.
