I think it's in the presets of Vegas where you can change that behavior, I am not at my PC at the moment.

Ross, when you do your pan be sure to use the Pan/Crop tool and you will have full resolution. If you use Track Motion to pan across, your photo is first resized to project resolution.

Open Pan/Crop window and set Pan/Crop width/height = Project Frame width/height. This will display your images in their original size.
(If you have Vegasaur, use Original Size one-click command)

And wouldn't it be nice if Vegas had an option to default to that!

Excalibur has an option to reset to original size.

I did have this unchecked (Options ->Preferences->Editing->Automatically crop still images added to timeline) as I had Project Properties->video-> adjust source media to better match project or render settings - unchecked.
Looking at the Pan/Crop window I see that the width/ height are the same as the original so it looks like it is full resolution. It just looked like it was scaled down. Is that correct?
Thanks for help - it is great to have this type of help available.

If the height & width match the original image then Vegas has reduced the image to fit the frame. If the height & width match the frame size then the image is full size.

Yes, it seems a bit backward.

If it helps understanding, this is because the height & width measurements are the size of the cropping window, not the size of the image.

I've made the mental adjustment to think of these settings as the size of a viewport opening over the underlying image; with the understanding that the viewport contents are what gets displayed in the Preview window and rendered out.

I think I understand now. By checking automatically crop still images to timeline it keeps the original resolution but crops to get the correct ratio.
What I want is to set the resolution in the pan crop window to the project resolution and this gives me what I want - i.e. photo is at original resolution.
It takes a bit of getting your head around it - Sony could improve this - at least in the manual.

Thanks everybody for the help - it is great to have it.
