    Hi.
    I need to make a psd file 300dpi. It is presently 72dpi. Can anyone recommend an easy way to do this or do i have to start from scratch? Thank you for your help!

    it will most likely look like heck tho – so I’d suggest recreating it from scratch at the higher resolution. Think of it as really good photoshop training to have to do it all over again. the Lesson is: don’t do it at 72dpi!

    Another thought tho – is that this could be 72dpi at 33inches big. If that’s the case – following Dels advice above, add in that you don’t want ‘resample’ turned on. This will change the dpi to 300 without loss of quality (and result in a smaller print size)

    hope that helps!
