Re: [artshow_photo] An idiot Q: changing image to 1200 x 1200 pixels at 300dpi

I am 'only' using Photoshop Elements 8 - but Larry's description worked

In the image size menu, change the resolution (PPI) first and without
closing the menu, then change the long pixel dimensions to 1200. Then
add canvas to the short side to make it 1200 pixels. Save as a JPEG
using Save As, not Save for web. Save As retains the resolution. Save
for web changes the resolution to 72PPI.

[I resemble that remark! :) ] Unfortunately, rightly or wrongly,
the entry requirements specified 300dpi
