If I import a JPG, PNG, GIF or other image into a stack and it is larger than the card there seems to be no way that I can shrink it to fit as the SCALE command does with EPS or QT imports: for instance: set the scale of img RUBBISH.jpg to 2 does nothing Now, it is possible to scale non EPS

It might be that since Media cannot produce standalone stacks (??) that opening one you have been working on in Media retains some limitations even in an environment like studio. I certainly haven't seen any issues like this in Studio (I do not have Media on the Mac). Neal On 9/18/07, Jim Hamlyn
