Actor Shrinks When I Add Image

When I make an actor and assign my 56x56 image to it, the actor shrinks down to 42x42. I've seen this happen to several other actors. They seem to shrink down to 3/4th the size they are supposed to be at. What's causing this? I hate having to go into each actor and changing their size to be the appropriate size.

    Are you sure it's originally 56x56?

    GameSalad automatically reduces the size of the actor if Retina Display is enabled. Although, that would become 28x28 for a 56x56 image.

    If that's not it, then it might be a bug.

    If you don't have your image at 72PPI or DPI (whatever the art fanatics want it called) then GameSalad will resize it strangely

    I am an art fanatic tonight and I insist you call it ppi.
