Photoshop question

[mitchcumstein]

Im trying to get a jpeg to print on a 4x6 photo but its not coming out the same size as on my computer screen. If i measure the pic on the screen i get 3.5 inches photoshop says its 2.2 so what gives?

you have to go to image, image size, then change it under document size, you may have uncheck 'constrain proportions'.

if you go to View, Print size, instead of actual pixels you can see the size it will print at.

Ok, figured it out. I had saved the pic a jpeg and it was printing out in web page format which was throwing the size off. saved it as a tiff and it printed out exactly 4x6. cool.
