Good day all, I’m struggling when importing images (PNG) within my project. Here is my workflow : I have boat plans scanned at high resolution in a PDF It is converted into PNG at 300dpi Within LightRoom, I crop different parts of the image to extract Front, Top and Side view. All exported in PNG…

The 1st image I try to import… [1st Image]

Now, the result I get in sketchup after importing and scaling… Looks good with high precision… [1st image in SU after importing and scaling]

This is now the second image. Still a PNG, with same format and resolution. Created from the same procedure within LightRoom. [2nd image]

And finaly the result within Sketchup. I created a new project to start from same point but the resolution is very poor. Additionaly, the scaling doesn’t work… The only difference I see is that one image is on the Y-Z plane, the other on the X-Z plane… [2nd after importing in SU. Scaling not wor…

Thanks a lot Mihai, I tried to look at previous posts but as I’m quite new on the forum, I’m still struggling with the right terms and tags. With your post I will explore it now. For what I see, that should solve the problem. The first image I imported is already of “reasonable” size (4979 × 4617)…

[image] tdesve: The first image I imported is already of “reasonable” size (4979 × 4617) and weight 3 Mo. You can import high res images, but the moment you import one with a pixel dimension larger than 4096 in any direction, it automatically replaces it with a low quality one. Just make sure…

Ok, now I’m confused. 2048 vs 4096? …and do the same limits apply to Match Photo imports?. I did hit a bug with throwing inadvertently too large a photo into that.

It’s 4096 on SketchUp Pro 2018 (macOS), at least. I can’t speak to other versions or platforms.
