Ok so im a rookie... trying to use photoshop to make some pictures for my wall ...thought it would be simple 😕😕

So ive created a 16x20inch file at 300dpi so its 4800x6000px

when I 'save as' and create a PDF the resolution (according to the 'get info' option on a mac) says its now only a resolution of 1152x1440 which then according to the printers will only create an image of 72DPI....

Why has it shrunk? Ive gone through all the options...dont downsample...no compression.... it still shrinks! WHY??

and I hope that makes sense...

So it seems, but what would it show if there were two different page sizes? Best to ignore an unreliable source completely. All sorts of tools claim to give resolution, size and colour information for a PDF, that they just made up.
