I am using photoshop (finally got a full version) and need to get my pictures which are shot in 4mp to a 4x6. A few questions...
1. Photoshop is telling me that my image size is 31.556 inches (2272 pixels) width x 23.667 in (1704 pixels) height with a resolution of 72 pixels/inch. If I use the crop tool and set the dimensions to 4x6, should leave the resolution at 72, or let it set to the best resolution (200 something)? I'm not sure if setting a higher resolution "artificially" creates more pixels. Can you actually give the picture a higher resolution that it originally had (72) without negatively affecting the picture? Not sure if I'm thinking about this wrong.
2. Is this even the best way to do it?
3. Let's assume I'm going to use somewhere like ofoto to print the pics. Is there a different way you should go about it?
4. Is ofoto the best choice to print pics?
I know this isn't directly about fish (even though some prints are of them!) but thanks for the help anyway. Don't have much experience with manipulating pics or using photoshop yet.
Thanks!
