Windows 10 Pro Build 19044

Illustrator 2022 26.0.2

 

I'm having issues importing images that change sizes when imported. 

Here are the Properties of each image

 

When imported into Illustrator, this happens

 

I have looked at this in indesign: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/images-importing-at-wrong-size/m-p/9648456#M86376, but doesn't resolve my issue.

Depending which image I pull into Photoshop first, that becomes the larger image.

Importing 1 first:

Importing 2 first:

  

This is the first time I've experienced this. It may have been an update that caused this.

Anyone have any suggestions or same issue?

You are probably talking about Photoshop now?


I was exporting images from my rendering software using the pixels of other images, instead of the inches.
So the images were exporting small. I used inches exporting from my rendering software, and resolved what appeared to be an issue.

Thanks for your support

PPI (DPI), bit dept, and scale in your doc are different.

There's also a considerable difference in file size. One has way more (good) data than the other.

Can you check the expanded Links panel when they are selected? They may have a different resolution

I know the PPI is different, but I've never had this issue where it doesn't account for that

I llustrator always takes the resolution into account to calculate the size.

Here are 2 images with the same amount of pixels, but different resolutions.
