Element Sizing Issues

[jtrimyer]

Let's say I have a text element in a file that I sized to 4". If I drag that over to a new file and then trim and check the size it is sometimes something different. If I save it to a network drive and a collegue opens it sometimes the size is very different than the original 4". Am I missing something? We are using different versions of PS, but should that affect element sizing?

Thanks in advance,

One thing you could check.
Are the source and target files the same resolution?
That could explain the draging over to a new file difference.

Saving to a network drive shouldn't affect the size though.

Thanks for the reply. I had thought of that and no, the source and target are the same dpi. It's very odd and more than a little frustrating.

Clutching at straws here.
Are the Pixel ratio's the same in source and target?

A thought on the network problem.
Is the font that you are using available to the other users on their machines?
