How do I format a picture to print a certain size?
Go to Image / Canvas Size. Select By absolute size. At print size, type the width and height of the desired paper format (e.g. 21×29,7cm for A4) Set Anchor to Middle (if you want it centered on the page — if you don’t, you can use Rectangle Select and Move Selected Pixels to move it around afterwards)

What is minimum print resolution?
300 dpi
Recommended minimum resolution for printing is 300 dpi; computer monitors generally have a display setting of 72 dpi or 96 dpi. If we indicate that some of your images have low resolution, they may not look bad on your monitor but will likely print blurry or jagged.
How is print resolution different from digital resolution?
Now, resolution in printing is different from digital image resolution. Digital image resolution refers to the number of pixels an image file contains. And when discussed in terms of display output, digital image resolution is often discussed in terms of PPI, or pixels per inch.
How big does an image need to be for printing?
What really matters for printing an image is it’s size. Digital images are measured not in inches, but in pixels. That is, the amount of individual digital dots of color it takes to build the image on a screen. A 10 megapixel image would have 10 million of those pixels ( megapixel = million pixels).
How do you calculate the size of a print?
Fortunately, calculating print sizes isn’t hard. Simply determine how many pixels you have on the long end and short end of your photo. For instance, you might have an image that’s 6000 pixels by 4000 pixels. Then divide each of these numbers by your desired PPI count–which, as explained above, is often 300 PPI.
How big is an image at 300 pixels per inch?
For instance, you might say that an image has 300 ppi, meaning that 300 pixels will ultimately go into a single inch of your final print. So if you had an image that was 600 pixels tall, and you printed at 300 ppi, you’d end up with a print that is 2 inches tall (because 600 pixels at 300 pixels per inch gives you 2 inches in total).
