I'm using Photoshop 6.0 and have a question about changing resolution under the image menu. Any advice I receive would be greatly appreciated.
When I open a picture in photoship that I have taken with my digital camera, it doesn't matter whether the image was taken as a Tiff or a jpg file, the dpi in photoshop comes up at 72. This works fine for smaller images, however, I want to go to poster size on some of my images, which obviously requires a higher resolution. My question is, does simply changing the resolution under 'Image Size" under the "Image" menu from 72 to 300 keep the quality of my images the same? Is this an appropriate way to increase the resolution of my images so that the detail will come out in the larger format image? If not, how can I get a higher resolution on my images that I download from the digital camera? Is there a way to 'program' photoshop with a higher dpi, so that I can maintain the quality of my images?
Thanks for your help.
