my image appears too big when I insert or drop and drag in my Illustrator, so big that it covers my workspace and find it difficult to resize

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

Opening will give you the same problem, if it is a low res file with many pixels, it will open very big.

If you create a new document and choose File > Place.. it will give you a loaded cursor and you can drag out a size.

Of course you can also scale the large image using the Scale Tool, double click it to set a percentage.

If you want to do it in Photoshop, see Monika's answer.

You could use File > Place instead of drag & drop.

Or set the resolution (ppi) without resampling in Photoshop or apps like Preview before dragging and dropping.

    Thanks very much, but l actually opened it as a file and then try to bring it to my workspace it was the same thing but I think about setting the resolution as the main key, please how do I do that?

    In Photoshop:

    Image > Image size.

    Turn off the resampling

    Input a resolution.
