Illustrator 2025, importation trop grande

[gaetanh67781165]

Bonjour, voici mon souci depuis deux jours environ. Aussi, il y a Illustrator 2025 et Photoshop 2025 qui font maintenant partie de ma vie depuis quelques semaines. Mon métier, c'est graphiste-lettreur. Le travail que je suis en train de faire pour un client en ce moment est de réaliser des lettres de vinyle adhésif pour placer dans les embossages du panneau arrière de sa camionnette Honda R-I-D-G-E-L-I-N-E.

Après avoir calqué chaque embossage sur un papier et fait un scan à 150 dpi ou 300 dpi pour chacune des lettresR-I-D-G-E-L-I-N-E (à leur grandeur réelle), je sauvegarde chaque fichier en .jpg. J'ai imprimé quelques-uns des fichiers .jpg, et ils sont à la bonne grandeur.

Le souci :

Lorsque j'importe les fichiers dans Illustrator 2025, les lettres scannées sont toujours presque le double de la grandeur réelle nécessaire pour faire un retracé exacte avec la plume. J'ai cherché depuis des heures une façon de remédier à la situation, mais sans succès. Merci de bien vouloir tenter de m'aider.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Gaétan,

Whichever size the JPEGs appear at, you can just scale proportionally to the right size and work with that.

This can be done in different ways.

One is to use the Transform palette based on a known desired real size in H (height) or W (width). You can select a letter, then simply change the number in the H or W box, then insert the desired real number and hold Ctrl/Cmd while you press Enter, to immediately see that it has the right size and unchanged proportions.

Another one is to scale with Object>Transform>Scale which uses percentage where 100% is keeping the size. You can insert the following in the Uniform box:

Desired real size multiplied by 100 (just add 00 after a whole number, remove the punctuation mark and add 0, or move the punctuation mark two places to the righ), then / (for division), then the current real size.

When the current size is about twice the desired real size, the result will be about 50(%).

You are right Jacob, but on the other hand, I have been working the same
way for decades and without need to resize in Illustrator; with former
Illustrator and Photoshop versions. Now with 2024 and 2025, I can't find
the way to open it right away with right size. That kind of trace is so
sharp that just one millimetre is enough to be seen easily by the client
(who are often very picky near their vehicle ;-).
Thanks for your help.

For my part you are welcome, Gaétan, this was to get through under the current circumstances.

Obviously, the lasting solution is to get back to the same simpler workflow that you arte used to.

I believe the lasting solution is the one that Ton gave, unless you wish to, and can, go back to the former Illustrator and Photoshop versions,

The advice that Jacob gave should help you with your current images.

Illustrator should read the resolution metadata and scale the image to the correct size.

Check if the resolution is correctly set and saved in the file.

You can go back into an Image editor like Photoshop and set the resolution in Image > Image Size  and Uncheck the Resample option to keep the amount of pixels the same.

Hi, with my old mac book 2010 and an old Illustrator version, it works correctly. The file is exactly the same size in both softwares Photoshop and Illustrator. And I see any difference with the resolution's settings.

Gaétan, what does your Links panel tell you about PPI and Scale?
