That gives you a 1:1 size, with no automatic resizing. I came here to see if there was a way I could streamline my workflow though and avoid using Paint. | |

Similarly, you can duplicate image's layer to the document in the other tab using Photoshop UI (context menu in the Layers panel). I don't see how Photoshop can't know image's ppi in these cases. | |
| Jun 20, 2013 at 14:54 | comment | added | JohnB | @vertigoelectric whoops, I misread your workaround (my method is always to copy and paste). Really, I can't give you an accurate answer to that. I would still assume that the principle is the same, though: PPI information isn't transferred when dragging layers from one document to another. | |

I drop the file into Photoshop so it opens as its own document. I then drag it from that document to my intended target document and drop it. | |

Corrected misuse of DPI

| Jun 20, 2013 at 10:10 | comment | added | JohnB | @vertigoelectric I'd only be guessing at this point, by my speculation would be that the clipboard does not store any PPI information so Photoshop has no choice but to place the image pixel-for-pixel | |
| Jun 20, 2013 at 4:48 | comment | added | vertigoelectric | I appreciate your efforts but that is definitely more work than it's worth, especially when it's much easier to just drop it into Photoshop as its own document and then moving it as a layer to the document I want to put it in. It's really not even that big of a deal, but it does seem unnecessary. Although it makes me wonder, if it's a DPI issue, then why does the 'workaround' I mentioned work? | |
