There is probably nothing to be done, but I figured I would ask anyway cause I can be stupid at times…
The issue is, I have two Photoshop files that have the same physical dimensions, 3.5 inches wide by 2 inches high. One was created at 72 dpi. The other was created at 600 dpi. I want to use the 72 dpi image as a background layer for the 600 dpi image. If I just copy the 72 dpi image over to the 600 dpi file as a layer, it is shrunk a lot and when I try to scale it up to the physical size of the 600 dpi, it becomes vary coarse and pixilated and looks like garbage.
If I print off the 72 dpi image, it looks fine. I can then print over it with the 600 dpi, it looks great and that is what I want, I just want both images to be layers of the same image file.
Is there anything that can be done or is it just not do-able?
Thanks.
