When I rescale (without resampling) and create a .TIF file, the rescale is maintained (for instance 4"x6") when I use PS to print the photo. However, when I rescale and create a .JPG, the rescale is not maintained (for example it’s 36"x24"!!!!!!) and I have to place a check in PS to "Scale to Fit Media" when printing. Why does this occur and is there a default setting in PS that somehow got changed? (I realize that just resizing the photo without resampling doesn’t change the photo data…just changes the size & increases the resolution (in my cases I normally print on 4"x6"). Thanks in advance for the answer to my question.

How are you making the JPEG?

If you use Save for Web to make the JPEG, the JPEG is created with the resolution set to 72 pixels per inch.
