I've been working with digital photo's for a while now and now I realized maybe I should find out if I'm doing the correct thing... Example: I take a high res tiff..shot on my 5 megapixel camera, and in photoshop the image size
comes up as 35 inch by 23 inch at 72 dpi... So now I want it to read as 300 dpi. I uncheck resample image and make the dpi change, now the image is 8.8 by 6.5 and I consider my task done ??? is this correct...

Yes indeed. You got it!

Is it also correct to say that if you tell your printing software to print that same image at 8.8 X 6.5 that it will print at 300 PPI?

Yes. The ppi is the pixel dimensions divided by the final print size in inches.

Does the same hold true with the highest res jpg shot?
