Hmm could you explain a bit more?

If you want to put pics on this site the easiest way (or the way i do it at least!) is to sign up to photobucket.com (free), upload your pics to it and then link them from there to here. Not sure if that helped but it's an alternative!

In photoshop: Open the "Image Shift dialogue box" (Image>Image Size).  Make sure constrain proportions is selected and under Document size change resolution from 72 to 300 Pixels/Inch.

The ppi setting is an arbitrary setting. It really doesn't affect the dimensions of the photo at all. What lab are you using for prints?
