How do you deal with scaling issues?
Often, my projects will incorporate alot of still images. Therefore, alot of scaling and resizing is done.
Usually while preparing a project, I’ll either guess how far I want to zoom in (let’s say 5X) and then make the image 5X larger than the screen size.
Howver, this obviously creates fairly large files and slows things down quite a bit.
My second route is to just parent layers together in order to form a larger image (i.e if I were to bulid a room or house from images.
So, just wandering what others work flows entailed.

That’s pretty much the way to do it. If you were on a 64-bit OS, you might be able to get more out of your ram, but eventually, large images cause AE to run out of RAM, so splitting them into smaller parts and using a null as a parent for animation is best.
FYI – you are best off creating some overlap with your segments. Otherwise you may get some missing pixels at the cut edge due to anti aliasing.
