Hello all,

When I place an image in ID and resize to 60% x 60%, for example, why does the transform palette show 100%?

Better yet, is there a way to easily find out what scale my images are at?

Thanks,
Kevin

if you click on it with the hollow arrow or direct selection tool, the percentage changes in the transform pallette to show the scale?ie: 50% or whatever

Beer,

I knew it was going to be simple. It is probably one of those RTFM situations.

Thanks for setting me straight.

Kevin

But when you scale the entire Picture Box, sometimes you will see the scaled Percentage with the Closed Arrow tool (Selection Tool) as well as with the open Arrow tool (Direct Selection Tool).

We have gotten files before that have been "scaled" twice. 8O
Once with the direct selection tool, and then again with the selection tool. So, watch out and always check with both to be sure.
