inches/pixel problem
Hi. Using Photoshop 7 here. Question is not exactly related to iconing, but close enough. Delete my post if necessary, thank you.
After multiple ctrl-f's in the memories section, and still not finding the answer to my problem, I decided to post.
When I open a file that is "2in/2in" into a file that is "18.5in/11in" the 2 inches is actually 1 inch. Confused, I opened other "2in/2in" picture files. All the two inches are different! Not to my knowledge is there multiple standards for inches, are there? When I go to Image > Image Size, it appears that the pixel dimension are different for every one of them, but the document size is 2 inches by 2 inches. When I print the picture, the size is entirely different.
Is there a way to crop a picture to 2 inches by 2 inches that will turn out to be 2 inches by 2 inches in real life?
I think my problem might be related to the 72 pixel thing that was mentioned in the FAQ, but when I tried turning off "resample image", it didn't fix the problem. Anyone know, please and thank you?
