I've encountered a weird 'bug' in Illustrator.
If I place an image from Photoshop with a clipping path it comes in at a smaller percentage in the links palette that when it's not present. Why should this be, does anyone know? The screenshots below show the same image with and without the path and different percentages.
The one that has a clipping path is flattened whereas the non clip has a transparent background, that's the byte difference Ton.
Flattening the non clip creates the same file size yet the problem still remains.
Looks like with the clipping path Illustrator treats the placed image like it treats embedded ones. And calculates the scaling factor from the image's resolution.
You'll see when you try and embed the image without a clipping path.
