Perplexing Moments in Photoshop

Listening to: sighing dogs

Seems the more I work with size and dpi and resolution and aspect ratios the more confused I get. I think I've bent my mind around it only to discover that I've missed the mark again.

Should be so simple - everyone says it is so simple. I'm pulling my hair out!

I read - reread... just can't find that key that unlocks my brain to understand how to make the resizing thing work. I'm simply trying to resize for prints and products in DA and CafePress. Shouldn't take a PhD --- or does it?

"There are times I think I lose myself - don't know who I am. I get caught up in the struggle and the strain. With my back against a stone wall - my finger in the dam, I'm losin' strength and goin' down again. Then my heart turns to Alaska and freedom on the run.... I can hear her spirit calling me......"
