if I use 100 pixel to inch then 5314/100 = 53,14 inch for width or
if I use 50 pixel to inch then 5314/50 = 106,28 inch for width is right?

eh? Just put it into PS and it will show you!

588in x 150dpi= 88200 pixels by
354in x 150dpi= 53100 pixels
or roughly 4683 megapixels.

I think that your computer will run slow!

Are you sure that's what you mean?

No, not true
photoshop is based on 3 items
length, width and resolution (dots per inch)
100 pixels = 1.389 inches at 72 dots per inch
use the conversion table as suggested on my first reply

There is no need to use a conversion table. If you open a new image is photoshop, you can do this directly in that dialog. FIrst fill in the requested resolution, then fill in the length and width in inches. That's all there is to it.

I am not sure why you would want those dimensions, but this might help some. < http://homepage.mac.com/lco/filechute/I-size_01.jpg >

What is your intended viewing distance for the final print? What printer are you going to use?
Are you going to employ a mosaic technique?

It is also worth considering what percentage of upsize from your original file you are making. if you are going to make a habit of this sort of thing, you might find using software such as OnOne Software's Perfect Resize 7, They have a 30-day trial version, and it is also included in their Plug-in Suite.

Just like I said. Choose 'File - New' and in the dialog that follows you fill in 58.8 x 35.4 inch and 150 ppi. Photoshop will calculate how many pixels that is and open a new file with the correct pixel dimensions and resolution. Did you really think that Adobe didn't know how to do this? By the way: you are confused because you think you need dpi and Photoshop gives you ppi. You don't need dpi in this case. Digital images do not have dots, only pixels, so the resolution of a digital image is always in ppi, never in dpi.

I don't understand the question. Simply open the resize dialog box, set that dpi, and set those dimensions.

Note that it's very likely that you're making the file huge for not actual reason; since you probably don't actually have that much resolution to start with.

Are you printing this yourself, or sending it somewhere? If sending it somewhere, ask them how they want the file prepared.

for me the problem is that :
I need certain dpi, but photoshop have ppi....
but now I have a solution...
