like tooooootally
The image size relates to the number of pixels in it whereas the canvas size uses the doing to say how many pixels to squash in to a given printed area. Ish.

Undo until its big again and change the canvas.

Actually canvas resize changes the dimensions (heigh, width, pixel depth) of the canvas
whilst leaving the image as it was (so if you reduce the size of the canvas you'll lose some of the image off the edge).

Image resize changes the dimensions of the image as a whole, so if you reduce the size of the image the canvas and image are reduced.

What Clairebare needs to do is reduce the Image size and in the same dialogue box increase the pixel depth (dpi). You want 300 or 600.

If you print from within photoshop's print prview you should be able to resize the image in that and have it print properly (or as well as it would if you resized the image).

If it still looks crap you're a photoshop n00b.

i know I know
I was typing it on my phone and it took forever.

I think as this page is so big it is soooo painful to use on an android phone

Same on any mobile device,
it's too big. There should be a mobile version that does one thread at a time.

I wouldn't.
I'd save as a tif. Bigger file size but better quality.
