Hello people,

I've read several posts about resizing images in Photoshop CS3, but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused now. Everybody keeps talking about changing the Dpi settings, but I can only find the spot where I can change my Ppi settings. (Image > Image Size > Resolution set to ... pixels/inch. 'Constrain Proportions' box checked, 'Scale Styles' and 'Resample Image' boxes unchecked). Are we talking about the same thing here, or have I been changing the wrong settings?

Love to hear from you!

Same thing...don't even worry about it. 300 dpi is the same as 300 ppi. Here is an article you might want to read:

Hi Cruiser,

Thanks for your reply! It's quite reassuring to know that I've been resizing the right way.

Best, Marjolein
