How do I reduce 300 dpi .jpgs or .gifs to 72 dpi in Photoshop while keeping them the same size on the screen?
For example, say the file is 1024 x 768 at 300 dpi (178 kb). Through "Image Size," I change the resolution to 72, but the picture shrinks to around
247 x 184. Well, I want it at the original screen size, just at a lower dpi. When I restore the pixel width to 1024, while keeping it at 72 dpi, the print dimensions balloon way out so that the file is as huge as when I started. "Save for web" doesn’t help. By the way, do you save website .jpgs as "High?"
I don’t expect to be printing these, but am working with copies of the original files just in case.
Thanks, all.
