Default Using PhotoShop w/Unisub Templates

I am attemping to create some new designs using the templates from Unisub in PhotoShop.
When I bring them into PhotoShop the size is incorrect, they are much larger than they should be and print much larger. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm using PhotoShop CS.

Thanks,
Cindy

Hi the image can be resized quite easily in Photoshop. Image/image size alter to size required ensuring the constrain proportions box is checked.

In Corel Draw and Illustrator, the images are imported the exact size they should be.

After posting my question, I have been working in Illustrator using the templates and as you said the size is fine. Corel and I don't get along I find Illustrator easier to work in. I wonder why this happens in PhotoShop?

Thanks for your answer

Corel and Illustrator being vector based programs handle EPS files in a different way to Photoshop, which is a raster based program, hence the sizing getting altered. You hadn't done anything wrong in Photoshop, it's just one of those quirks, we all have to live with.

I had forgotten that Photoshop is raster, now it all makes sense. I am teaching myself both Photoshop and Illustrator, I just know the basics. We want to do different things with the sublimation items than just use the graphics that unisub offers and more than just a photo. Today I found a tutorial to make a tree and I think I actually got it!
