OK then ...
Is your Large Puzzle texture giving you larger puzzle pieces that the other one?
If not then did you make sure that Resample Image was checked when you changed its size??
If you are getting larger pieces but still not large enough then resize the puzzle texture to 25 inches ...

Yes it is giving me larger pieces but maybe not large enough. The "resample image" was checked. I'll try changing the puzzle texture size. Thanks so much for your time Wendy.
