- Pixel Dimensions - Default is set to Percent; I often use this for resizing, but not for my print photos. I have not explored the dropdown menu in this area yet *S*
- Print size - Is so that you can tell it exactly what size you want. Default is Inches (which is what I'll use since I'm American...perhaps other countries would use another option *S*)
- Resolution - At this time, a resolution of 72 is for the web. I've read that 200-300 works just fine for print. If your image is already 72, then if you increase the resolution in this area, the actual size will decrease accordingly. I'm not real experienced with printing, so that's as far as I'll go LOL
- Resampling - The experts say it's best to use one setting for resizing smaller, and another setting to resize larger. Smart Size will detect which way the resizing is going, and apply the best choice.
- Lock aspect ratio - You'll almost always want this checked. The only time I've unchecked it, and reset it with a different ratio is when I've made a closeout logo for my pc (and that's because Windows sets their logo's for open/shutdown that way...think it's 0.8 if I recall properly)
- Resize all layers - If you're working on a flattened/merged image, then you'll want this checked. If you're working on an image with multiple layers...you may wish to do it either way depending on if you want only that layer to resize, or all layers to resize.
- (Maintain original print size - This is new; I have no idea what it does LOL)
