UV Layout gets distorted when I open the jpeg image.

I was trying to do a UV texture tutorial I saw here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4fSFqRXd10. When I open the jpeg image I made in PS Elements using the layout from blender, all the layout shapes get distorted. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

This is my UV layout in Blender that I exported and used in PS Elements to get the images the right dimensions.

This what I get in the UV window when I open the jpeg image.

Your image is not square. Unwrap again with the image in the window. Then scale down your unwrap to fit the image.

Thanks. I did it over again. I must have changed the dimensions of the layout image when I was in PS Elements. Now it works. You made me realize what I did wrong. Thanks.
