[Avid-L2] Re: Has Import behavior changed with the new nomenclature

So Roger am I remembering correctly that a 648x486 image should import with the first import option at the correct aspect ratio? That is what I remember but that is not what is happening on this particular layered photoshop document. Yet if I resize the image to 720x540 or 720x486 they both import correctly and identical with the top choice. I can only get the 648x486 document to import using the bottom choice. I really think this is different than it use to be but I'm willing to be wrong.
