RE: Image Scaling in FM9
Have you checked that your FM has been updated? FM 9.0.3 Readme lists this as a fix for that version (note that 9.0.4 is the current version): #2 The dimensions and default dpi resolution for PNG, JPG and GIF files gets corrupted when imported in FrameMaker. Hayward, Morgan (Bolton) wrote: We have a PNG image that is 4.5 wide and has a resolution of 300 dpi. When we import this image into FrameMaker 8.0, it automatically detects the resolution and sets the scaling to 100%. FrameMaker 9.0, however, does not detect the resolution and automatically sets the scaling to 24% when we tell it the resolution is 300 dpi. ___ Sheila CarlisleV: 425/ 486-2988 Axial InfoSolutions Inc.

RE: Image Scaling in FM9
Hi Sheila, I am seeing it with 9.0p255, which I think is the latest version.

RE: Image Scaling in FM9
Yup, it is. That's always been one of my pet peeves, that Adobe uses two different numbering systems -- it causes a lot of confusion on the website forums. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22platform=Windows -Original Message- I am seeing it with 9.0p255, which I think is the latest version.

RE: Image Scaling in FM9
Hi Morgan, This sounds like a bug. Can you send me the .png image so I can see if I can duplicate your results? Thanks. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-659-8267 r...@frameexpert.com *** Frame Automation blog at http://frameautomation.com Hello Framers, Quick question about a difference my co-workers and I found between FrameMaker 8.0 and FrameMaker 9.0. We have a PNG image that is 4.5 wide and has a resolution of 300 dpi. When we import this image into FrameMaker 8.0, it automatically detects the resolution and sets the scaling to 100%. FrameMaker 9.0, however, does not detect the resolution and automatically sets the scaling to 24% when we tell it the resolution is 300 dpi. We want the image to display at 100% of its original size. Why does FrameMaker 9.0 say the size is 24%? Regards, Morgan Hayward ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

Why does FrameMaker 9.0 say the size is 24%? Is the resolution _really_ 300 dpi? If so, the graphic should be 300 x 4.5, or 1350 pixels wide. (If it's a screen shot, it can't be 300 dpi; you can set that value as a hint in some graphics programs, but no one has a 300 dpi monitor. A screen capture is generally 72 - 96 dpi.) From the way you describe the process, it sounds like you're pasting this graphic. Don't do that. Import it with File Import File (you are saving these graphics as files, right?). When you import a file, FM doesn't automatically scale it. You decide. When you import a PNG file, FM displays the Imported Graphic Scaling dialog. It shows the pixel dimensions of the graphic at the bottom and offers several dpi options, plus Custom dpi. For each option, the resulting dimensions on the page are shown (this is just simple math: divide the dpi into the pixel width and height). If your graphic is really 1350 pixels wide, then the 300 dpi setting should show a width of 4.5. If your graphic has some other pixel width, divide that by 4.5, set Custom dpi to that value, and click Set. HTH! Richard G.
