can you post your PSD? is it possible you have some pixels that are semi-transparent that don't show themselves when you command click? Are you sure there aren't pixeles hanging off the edge of your PSD artboard?

Good day to everyone,

I've created a word in Photoshop using vectors pasted from AI. Each letter is rasterized and sits on it's own layer. When I Command click on the letters in Photoshop, the marching ants surround the letters perfectly – nothing extraneous anywhere.

Open the file in AE 5.5, using "Retain layer sizes" and the letters have what seems to me to be  completely arbitrary bounding boxes, such that when I rotate a letter, the center of axis is anywhere but the center of the letter. Anyone have a clue what's going on here? I can think of several dozen work arounds but I'm hoping there's a flaw in my work flow that's easily fixed.

Thanks in advance.


Jonathan
