The Lounge is not for technical help so moved to Photoshop Forum. If you do not get the help you need there please let us know and we'll move to another area.

What are the dimensions in pixels of a typical photograph after you've resized it (Image > Image size will tell you) and what size in inches do you want the images to print?

And what is the original dimension and dpi? If your images are originally at 72 or 100, upscaling them to 300 dpi may meet the tech requirements but not improve the image quality (in fact, likely decrease it).

Also, what file format are you working with?

These images are hugely oversize, at the moment this one, for example, is optimised for printing at 72" x 48".

Scale them down to the size you want to print them.

If you have lots of photographs you can use the Photoshop Image Processor script to scale them in bulk.

72, but my Sponsor needs them to be at 300. Is there any way to decrease the file size but keep the image at 300?

At a resolution of 300PPI these would print at 17" x 11", so if you were printing one image a page you'd need them to be reduced by about half. Does that make sense?
