Worked on the wheel/roller thingys.

Does anyone know why PS interprets saved jpgs from Maya as a weird pixel aspect ratio? I managed to fix it in PS, but I'm not really happy with that kind of workflow.

The aspect ratio thing has to do with the aspect ratio for video formats.

In maya you can set the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels and I believe this will correct the problem or you can just leave it at the default in maya and then in photoshop you can correct the pixel aspect ratio there (Image>Pixel Aspect Ratio). Six of one half a dozen of the other really.
