I am using Photoshop 7, an Epson 2200 printer, and an Olympus c5050 camera. I want to make large (11 x 14)high quality fine art prints.
I understand saving images w/ the PIM format, what I don’t get is how to change size and res. of my image. After importing my image from the camera and opening it in Photoshop, the image size (in inches) varies between quality modes, but the pixel size is always 72/inch.
I have 2 options, I can reset the pixel size to lets say 400 ppi, which automatically changes the overall size of image. Or I can input the actual dimensions I want the image to be in inches, and then enter what I want the ppi to be. When I do this, the image size remains intact. Does it matter which way I do it to get my final actual image size, and is it better to do Photshop image alterations before or after I change the size of my image?
I’m still learning all this, so keep that in mind with responses. Thanks.
