Hi  I am selecting photos for printing and I am using Print Size to check how large I may have the photos printed.  What I do is I open a photo file and then select Page Setup. For example A2. I can then go to View - Print Size and my display will show the rulers in centimeters correctly. But when I tried to select A1 that size is not available in the list under Page Setup. I have tried selecting User Defined but there is nowhere to add the dimensions and no popup to allow dimensions to be added.

I use an Epson R2400 (to print up to A3) and that does not offer an opportunity to enter the dimensions for User Defined under Page Layout.

OK you Open an image file and it opened some size in Photoshop. What size did it open. You use page setup and selected A2 did you choose that size because it the size paper you have in the printer or because it the size the image in Photoshop is?  What page setup size you you choose for my image

In My CS3 I do not se an A2 option or an A1 I do see an envelope A2 Have no idea where CS3 has this list may be built in Photoshop.

Printer settings are print driver settings. ]

In CS3 it look like you must first set the printer or CS3 will default to your system default printer.   When I used Print in photoshop and selected epson 4800 the page setup changed it tune.

Hi JJMack  What I am doing is using Photoshop to see what my photo looks like if I were to print to A2 or A1 and larger. If I select Image and   Image Size and I alter the Document size Resolution to 99 pixels/inch the rulers will be correctly displaying centimeters.  I had set the Page Layout to A2. So selecting View - Print size I can decide whether my photo will look good in this instance printed on A2 paper. This would have to be done by a commercial print company aas my printer is A3.  What I am unable to do is select A1 or A0 as it is not an option in my Photoshop Page Setup Size list.  What I could do is select User Defined but as I am enquiring there is no place to enter what User Defined sizes I want to enter.

Hi Per Berntsen  Thanks for adding advice.  I have tried viewing at 100 percent. With Page Setup to A2 size. I find that the rulers double in size - one centimeter ruler space is actually two centimetres wide.  I do not want to resample my photos as this would damage the originals.

Without RESAMPLING.   The number of pixels you have for your image a printer can be printed so that image will be the size you want. You just need let Photoshop set the correct Print DPI resolution.   Use menu Image size. Uncheck RESAMPLE.  With RESAMPLE unchecked your image will not be interpolated not a single pixel will be changed. The File size will remain the same.  In the Image Size dialog change one of the three print size settings Photoshop will calculate the other two settings.   What will happen is the Image will be printed with a different size Pixel.  DPI resolution is pixel size. Changing the pixel size changes the size the image prints.

If I open my camera picture use image size and enter 2" in the width Photoshop will calculate it need to print that image at an 1168DPI resolution.  My eyes can not resolve down to that size and examine each pixel but my printer can print my image pixels that small.

It does not matter if  I  have 8.5"x 11" paper in the printer the image will be printed 2" x 3" on the 8.5" x 11" paper. There will be big white boarders.

Thanks JJMack  The CS3 Image Size is different to yours.  In CS3 only the Resolution can be changed. I have posted a formula that can be used to calculate the resolution that will generate the print width.
