For those of you with Photoshop, here's a simple tutorial for resizing images for print in Photoshop.

Much to my surprise, I discovered that Photoshop (CS2 is what I use) has a wizard for resizing images to print - something I had not seen before since I never ventured into the "Help" menu, which is where you'll find it. One thing to note is that in the updated version of Photoshop CS (CS3) this wizard doesn't seem to exist.

I am currently printing my own images (up to 13" wide X 44" long) on an Epson R1900 and the prints I have resized using this wizard come out beautifully on that printer. Most of my larger prints have been done this way on art papers - note that it isn't really to use this method if you are printing on canvas. Typically, canvas prints require a lesser value for dpi than most other art papers.

Before you decide to sell anything sized this way, you'll need to obtain a test-print from the printer of your choice to ensure your quality is good enough for large professional results.

The pdf contains screen prints of the steps, so it should be simple for anyone to follow.

Since I use Photoshop CS2, I have no idea if this option is available in prior versions, or if it is available in Photoshop Elements. You'll need to look in your programs to see. I do know (as mentioned above) that it is no longer available in Photoshop CS3.

*Please Note*

Starting with the absolute highest quality of image you've got will help result in the best quality of print.
