Since when and wtf for? So, ok, I’m combing the labyrinth of GUI hell in my latest copy of photoshop wondering why every change Adobe makes takes Photoshop farther from being what I need. The latest bit of cruelty is that I seem to be not allowed to paste an Illustrator image into a Photoshop file without it automatically resizing the thing. Fine, fine, I mean if you’re dead set on it make that an option, but how the heck do you turn that bug… feature off? Ok whatever, so make me put a step in between – I just paste it into a larger image, because at least it doesn’t GROW the damn thing. Sure as hell will shrink it though. What’s up with that? C’mon I’ve got bulk images to process.

Perhaps if you’d stop ranting long enough to go into Edit>Preferences>General and look under "Resize during Paste/Place", you’d find you have the option of turning off this otherwise useful feature.

I see you’re a comedian. Nice one. That’s the first place I looked, why don’t I get that option?

Maybe you didn’t ask nicely enough.

Even with that *Photoshop* option enabled, my Illustrator files come in correctly sized.

I might be more willing to look deeper into this if your attitude didn’t suck.

Considering your ranting about changes you might want to tell us what version of Photoshop you’re using.

In a few weeks you’ll be three versions out of date.
