Transform Again Gives Inconsistent Results

Question

When building albums, I place a number of pictures on a page; these pictures are generally the same size.  So I bring the first image into a template and then Free Transform (Ctl+T) it to, say 4 X 6."   Then I bring in others, do a Transform Again (Shift+Ctl+T).  60-70% of the time I will get 4 X 6" images but in 30-40% of the time, I get some other dimension either bigger of smaller than 4 X 6."  I then cancel the errant transform (Ctl+Z) and do a new Free Transform and get a correct 4 X 6."  This erratic behavior of Transform Again really slows down my work flow.  I'm wondering if it is something that I am doing to a file in Camera Raw (like cropping or straightening) before bringing it into Photoshop that is creating this problem???

Answer 1

Here is my workflow.
1. I open a blank template that is 20 X 30.'
2. I then open 8 images.
3. I drag the first image into the template and then free transform to a
size that I like, say 4 X 6."
4. I then drag a second image into the template and apply free transform
again (ShiftCtlT).
5. I drag 9 more images into the template and one-by-one FT them to 4 X
6."  Except, they do not all end up 4 X 6"even though I use the Free
Transfrom again command.
Sometimes the second image is transformed to 4 X 6," other times to some
other size.
