I am just starting out…I have set the canvas at 8 x 10. The print size I want is 8 x 10. My resolution is only at 280.6. How do I increase the resolution without increasing the print size. The image is coming of a cd.
In response to another post of yours elsewhere, I already gave you a link to a thread that discussed this in great detail. Read it again.
My advice is to print your image as is. You may lose more in the process of upsampling to 300ppi or 360ppi that you would gain. If you still want to do it, and I repeat I would not recommend it in this particular case, use Photoshop’s Bicubic Smooth resampling method to specify the new resolution you want with the resampling box checked. Leave the dimensions alone, of course.
Incidentally, it doesn’t matter one bit where your image is coming from.
In the Image Menu, choose Image Size and check the Resample Image box. Type in the resolution you want. If you’re printing on an inkjet, 280 ppi is plenty, but this is how to do what you are asking.
Ramon, I have read that link and will read it again. Everyone keeps telling me "You want to try to get it over 330 or more…." I guess I am just confused.
Hey…I just want to make sure I am getting this right…Are you all telling me the same thing? hahahahahaha…I’m just messin’. Thanks guys! I will be sure to ask a million more questions.

They’re telling you to START OUT with as large an image as you can. In other word, use a camera with greater resolution (more pixels) or scan your film at greater resolution (more pixels).
330ppi makes no sense; I can see 300ppi and, better still 360ppi (if your inkjet’s resolution is 2880dpi, think of this 360 > 720 > 1440 > 2880. See the pattern?)
We have gone through this whole resolution/re-sizing thing for you in at least three threads in the last two months!

What is it that you STILL don’t understand?

It is apparent from your many posts on the subject that you still have some questions about image resolution. The folks here are really trying hard to assist. To underscore what Ann is saying, where is this subject tripping you up?
