Reply To: Image size and resolution

In general, you want the images to be at least 300 ppi, which you can text using the info panel. When you add an image to a document using a loaded cursor and just click, it gets added to the document at it’s native ppi, which for scanned images, sometimes the default setting is higher than 300, so the image would import smaller than you might intend. use the info panel to check the native ppi and the working ppi. You can usually get away with ~270ppi. another thing you can do to solve this problem is to set the ppi in photoshop, edit>image size> change it to 300, with the <resample image> checkbox turned off.
