<p>So I have a composition with a single image that has this expression attached to its position:</p>

<p>[thisComp.width - 100, thisComp.height - 100]</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/vtX4B.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/vtX4B.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>All this expression does is makes my image to be located in the right bottom corner. That's it.</p>

<p>But when I try to use this composition in other composition, my children image is scaled together with the parent scale:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/w6VQ9.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/w6VQ9.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>How do I make the image be located in right bottom corner, <strong>but do not scale</strong> with the parent?</p>

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/vtX4B.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/vtX4B.png)

How do I make the image be located in right bottom corner, **but do not scale** with the parent?

try parenting the position values only, not the whole layer. So pull the pick whip from the child's position values to the parent's position values.
