Sorry for posting this again, but the responses to others with this problem didn’t really answer my question.
I have several 5.0 megapixel images and when I open them in Photoshop, they default to 72ppi and something like 36" x 27". To change them to a higher ppi (and thus a smaller document size) I change the resolution while keeping the "resample" box unchecked. So far, I think I’m doing everything correctly – my images become smaller in size.
What I’ve noticed is that when I open these same digital camera images in a different editing program (my computer tends to default to opening them in Microsoft Photo Editor – blech) they come in as 300 ppi and around 6.5" x 8.5" – which is what I really wanted in the first place.
So the question I really have is: is there a way to change the default on Photoshop so the images don’t automatically have that 72ppi/monster document size?
Thanks in advance
Amy
