Hi,
I am doing a project where it is very import for the size of the image to stay the same.
I am trying to figure out how to line up stencils letters onto a sign board for the best effect..
I scanned in all the stencil letter and numbers seprately, and then created a new image that is the size of the sign board..
Problem is when I cut out the letter and move the image to the sign, the letter increases in size to about 3 times what it should be..
At first I thought is was happening when the image was scanned but test show that if I scan and print the image with out moving it, it is the correct size. When I transfer it to the other image that is suppose to be the sign board and print it, the letter is huge.. How do I stop this, and can I do something that will make this preference a permenant choice.

Size of picture increases when I transfer to a new image
It sounds to me like you're working with an image that isn't full size. I would guess that when you scan it, it fits the space available in PI, but once you move it, it pops up to be quite large. If this is the case, look at the size of the one you scan by clicking on the magnify glass, then look at the top of the screen to see if you are viewing the image at 100% or not. I would guess that you are not... that you are probably seeing it at about 50% or so.

OK,
I think I found the solution, but I would love someone to explain to me why..
My scanner is set to the size of 100% and the resolution of 200%.. If I scan and then print the scanned image it is the perfect size.
If I create a new image that is "user-defined-100 pixel/inches it resizes to about 3 times too large.
If I create a new image that is "user-defined-200 pixel/inches it does resize correctly. and I ended the program and reentered and the user-defined-200 pixel/inches stayed stuck... This is good because I only change the scanner for the immediate picture to 100 resolution (and that would work in PI is user-defined-100 and scanner is resolution 100) but that means I have to make that change multiple times for each group of stencils I scan in.
So I am guessing the user-defined- (100 or 200) is resolution in PI and not pixel/inches.. But why does the resolution resize??? I thought size either shrinks or enlarges.. and resolution was how many dots per whatever. and may effect the storage size of the picture, but not the true size, size of the picture.
Totally confused but greatful for the solution
