    Is it possible to add larger sizes to the restrained menu ie 11 X 14 inches?
    Thanks

      You can’t add them to the menu, Jerry, but you can definitely enter ’11 in’ and ’14 in’ in the Width and Height boxes.

    I haven’t been able to find a tutorial/article to answer a question I have relating to the relationship between image size and resolution. When I set the resolution to 100 for example for posting to the Internet, the size automatically changes. Similarly, when I set the height and width to 4×6 for example the resolution automatically changes. When posting my image is typically huge. How do I manipulate both of these fields – width/height and resolution? Thank you.

    Thanks for the link Kelly. In setting the pixel dimensions, are there guidelines/rules to follow for printing? The article says for posting to the web, the maximum used is 800 pixels. Does this mean the larger of the width or heighth is 800 pixels? I have to go back to some images and try again. When I was sizing my images to 4×6 at 100 pixel resolution for posting, they were miniature. When I just put the resolution in and don’t worry about the size, the pictures are huge. I am struggling with the concepts here for some reason.
