Wrong image size on PSD import

Question

So I've worked with layered PSDs as footage for AE quite a bit and never run into this. The title says it all really -- a cropped PSD, with "Delete cropped pixels" checked, when brought in as a composition is completely the wrong size. This is whether I import as Composition or Composition -- Retain Layer Size.

My PSD is 2484 x 3101. When I import the layers all come in at 4844 x 3229, the original precrop size of the PSD. There are only four layers, and only RGB channels, no alphas or anything else.

This happens even if I save out all my layers as TIFs then reconstruct a PSD from those.

Is this expected behavior?

No, this is not expected behavior.Maybe this is the case:Maybe you have numbered PSD files: let's say your original is "file_01.psd" and the resized one is "file_02.psd", so I suspect that you import those as sequence without notice and AE is taking the dimension from the first file in the sequence.Just a wild guess

Same here.I have an image, 4000x3000 px, 300 dpi. (Square aspect ratio)When I import this image into indesign, it will be 960x720 pixels at 300 dpi.If I resize it to 4000x3000 px, it will be 72 dpi.Same problem when opening a new document by selecting print or web.Same problem with other images from stock sites or Photoshop, other PSD and INDD documents.All applications (Photoshop, Indesign) have been updated.When exported from indesign, the images give sh!t resolution.
