Hello, I'm a photoshop novice, just using it for various tasks, not a regular user. Today I have a piece of sheet music that I open as a PDF file. And I have to drag in some images that are created in another program. The problem is that when I drag the image (PNG) in, it makes it very large and pixelated, and I have to grab the transform control, and size it down to what I need and drag it into place.
The photoshop document is 300DPI. The other program that saves these PNG images gives me a width option in pixels for saving the image. I have 200 selected, so it's making all the images 200 x 216 (this can be changed). When I look at its image properties in photoshop, the resolution says 95.987.
So with what limited knowledge I have, I'm guessing this is some sort of resolution mismatch. But the question is, what width should these PNG images be saved as so that when I drag them into my document, they'll be the right size to fit (see screenshot showing one resized and placed, and the other how it looks after it's been dragged to the document. As you can see, the images need to be placed in that space between the notation and tablature staves) Or is there something else I should be doing altogether?
Thank you for your help!
