Default PL Page Size Question

I have several PL pages created in PS and would like to cut them out with my silhouette. However, when I open the file in the silhouette software, it always enlarges the file from what I had in PS. How do I prevent this and keep the size I have on my original psd layout? I have hunted everywhere and can't find anything on this and hoping some of the experts here might be able to share. Hope this makes sense....

The easiest thing I have found is to draw a rectangle in Silhouette Studio, using the rectangle tool, that's exactly the size I want to cut. Then drag the JPG from Windows Explorer or Finder *into* that rectangle. It will size the JPG to fill that rectangle. It works with any shape so you could make it with rounded corners or whatever and it will go ahead and fill whatever shape you made. You can make a .studio file of all the 3x4 and/or 4x6 (or whatever size you want) rectangles that fit on a page and just open that blank cut file every time you need to do a print and cut.

I never thought to use my Silhouette for this... I have a script that automatically breaks my pages down into 4x6 size files and then I print them out......
