Photoshop elements help

[viccar]

Need a bit of help with photoshop, ive done something and i dont know what ive done

When i have to print photos for small items ie compact mirrors, i resize them/ crop or use the circle cutter ect, then i ususaly drag and drop them all onto a blank A4 to print them all together.
Or i design mug template @ 21 x 9 then drag and drop 3 on A4 sheet.
All this worked perfectly before xmas.

Now when im dragging them its not keeping the size, there lots smaller.:frown:
I then have to resize them all again on the A4, which is not good and a pain in the bum.

what have i changed?

I think you have changed your resolution when starting a new document.

Make sure the resolution is exactly the same on both documents and it should work.

Hi Everyone.
You need to keep you Images and new Pages @300 DPI or PPI (Pixles per Inch)

but what dpi is your graphics? if dpi is lower then they will apear much smaller when you drag and drop them to your new document.

I made this quickly just paintbucketed it red and wrote text on the setting for mug above
then drag n drop on A4 setting above.
Shouldnt this work even with just text>?

you need to check that when you crop that you set the crop size at 300ppi and not at Picture default which can be 240 ppi of 72ppi.
In Crop dropdown box find the Size and Resolution tab, Click and create a 210 x 90 mm at 300 and save as default setting. working in CM or MM dont matter as long as it is at 300 PPI.
I have had the same problem in CS6 photoshop and have set all my Crop's as 300 PPI as images can come in @ 72PPi especialy if off a phone.
