Importing an image with its original size

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to import a photo to adobe fresco with its original size without having to scale it myself. The original photo came from a pdf that I had to convert to a jpeg and import to fresco. Unfortunately, fresco decreases the size a ton when I import onto my canvas leaving it up to me to scale it. I know it won't be accurate if I scale the image myself and it has to be exactly like it is in the pdf because it will be printed later. Is there any way to have the image imported with its original size to my canvas instead of shrinking down? 

 

I've attached the original pdf from which I separated the images and made a jpeg for each one to import.

It is not available for the moment (use the uservoice link Anubhav provided to vote for it!), but in the meantime, provided that you have photoshop, you can open your Fresco document in photoshop, insert the PDF directly (without having to convert it) and resize it precisely with the transform fonction (exact mm/in).
Then close the document, and open it in Fresco, your background will be at the right size.

 

Hope it helps!
