When I rescale (without resampling) and create a .TIF file, the rescale is maintained (for instance 4"x6") when I use PS to print the photo. However, when I rescale and create a .JPG, the rescale is not maintained (for example it’s 36"x24"!!!!!!) and I have to place a check in PS to "Scale to Fit Media" when printing. Why does this occur and is there a default setting in PS that somehow got changed? (I realize that just resizing the photo without resampling doesn’t change the photo data…just changes the size & increases the resolution (in my cases I normally print on 4"x6"). Thanks in advance for the answer to my question.

Have you tried using the crop tool set to 4ins by 6 ins(options bar if not a crop tool preset) with a resolution of around 300?
