poster for what? like to print out?

printers normally print at 300 dpi, so 300 pixels an inch


if its just for computer? like wallpaper size? 1152 by 864 is my screen resolution

600 by 400 is like a large print thing for the computer,


i reallly need to know what you are trying to do with it?

no i mean like a poster poster like something you would hang up in your room
something that your normal printer couldn't print out
something you would have to bring to a shop that prints posters
i dont wanna do a real good poster than have sucky resolution when it prints out cause they blew it up

300 pixels per inch


when you select how big you want the canvas, just put it to 300 pixels instead of 72 per inch, then just make it like XX inches by YY
