Chirone: oh right. Yeah,ill see if I can get any concrete info on google. Hammer: I actually clicked on that this morning. See what happens is, when I open a render in photoshop,i then uncheck pixel aspect ratio and the image sizes up to normal.but if I then marquee select that image,copy and paste it into a new file,it comes out as the squashed version, without giving me the option to uncheck it.so I have to free transform visually to what I think looks correct. I dont know if theres a setting in preferences that can bypass the process.its jst one more little hurdle you know...
