I have a 50k JPEG as listed in Explorer. When I open it in Adobe PhotoDeluxe BE to resize , it lists 1.09 Meg and a 400" width!
When I resize it to 11" width it is only blurred pixels. I posted it on a test and it posts fine. I want to print it but in it's present format it overloads my laser printer memory. How can I resize it to print? Attached image(s)

it's only 1 pixel per inch. That's only 400x400 pixels. That's already low resolution. Only reason to resize that is to make an avitar or something.

At 400" it won't print. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
What is the relationship of paper size to pixel size? |

usually print is 300dpi - 1200dpi...your image shows settings of 1dpi...so every pixel will be 1 inch in size (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

let's say you want it to fit on an 8x10...resize it to:
2400x2400 @300dpi...that will print it 8"x8" but it will break up a bit because it's 6x it's current size. you can do the math to figure another size, but remember You need to change the resolution from 1dpi to approx 300dpi. |

all my program seems to allow is to change the size, not the resolution. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) |

Do I need a different program to do this? |

try photoshop elements, it should do it, and I think it's a gimme or damn near it price-wise.
