![]() The scaling percentage will change, as seen below (the absolute image scaling factor should be 5%, the effective PPI should be 1440): ![]() The source images are of slightly different sizes, so when I want to replace (relink) an image with a different image, the PPI will change, because the new images will be fit in size of the container of the old image. I need to arrange several images together, all of them should be printed at the same size AND the same magnification (this can be expressed as effective PPI). ![]() I have an image placed inside a rectangular clipping mask (the mask is defining the final printing size of the image). So the solution for absolute scaling of objects (inside a clipping mask) is to do it in InDesign: But it is InDesign that is the solution, so thank you for pointing me in this direction. The frame fitting options are not a solution - it will only fit or fill the frame, you don't have control over scaling of the object. Is it possible to use an absolute scaling percentage for image transformation? So my question is: is it possible to re-scale the image(s) to exactly 5%? I tried Object-Transform-Scale, but the initial value is always 100%, so I would have to calculate percentage for each image separately, like 5/4.708*100% for the one in the screenshot. The four images in the initial grid were scaled to 5%, but when I relink an image inside the clipping mask and choose a different one, the scaling changes - as seen in this screenshot to 4.708% for this particular image: ![]() I've made a grid of 2 x 2 images and then reused this grid, to put a different set of images inside the clipping masks. ![]() The magnification of the images should be exactly the same, for example, I scale all the images to 5% and then I put them in a clipping mask. The images are similar, but of slightly different sizes, therefore I put each image in a clipping mask, so the final sizes of clipped images are the same, so they can be arranged in a grid. I'm assembling panels of multiple images in Illustrator CS5. ![]()
