Dealing with Resolution in Photoshop
You’ve opened an image in Photoshop…your first stop in should always be Image>Image Size! What’s your image resolution and dimensions?
Without resample selected your image will be like the peanut butter example. A change in resolution will result in a proportional change to width and height. The overall file size won’t change.
With resample selected your image will resample. Pixels will be added if you choose a resolution or dimension that’s larger than the original image.
Caution: more pixels doesn’t mean a bad picture will look better!
