Well, if you make sure that the pictures saved in Photoshop are the same length (side and top view) for example. Then you only have to make sure that your images planes are also the same size. Wich is easy to do in Maya.

if you select your camera under view in your viewport, go to channel box. you can adjust alot of your image plane poperties there. you can also check your sizes and adjust the posistions there as well. i think its a time saver compared to going to your camera attribute editor.

thanks Levitateme for that little tip, i have always gone to the atribute editor and did not think to change sutff in the channel box, that speeds things up a little bit. thnaks
