Automatic picture scaling...?

The pictures I import into scratch as sprites are getting scaled down automatically.  I can not find a way to get these back to original scale from ANYWHERE in scratch.  Serious pain..

Try using the enlarge tool (circled in blue) in the scratch paint editor after importing your picture. You can also decrease the size by clicking the button that is circled in red.

Yea, but that will make it all jagged.  hmm

Sadly, there's no way to prevent that from happening - Scratch automatically scales down imported images that are larger than the Stage.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

"Try using the enlarge tool (circled in blue) in the scratch paint editor after importing your picture." yeah but you can't control how much is enlarges by

That makes sense then, thanks.

Acually, you are wrong there. If you hold dow [Shift] and click it it asks you how much you want it to shrink/grow/rotate.
