I use Photoshop to print 2 by 2 pictures. basically I edit the pictures to make it 2 x 2 inches in size for printing. Why is it always larger when printed? How do I make the image size accurate for printing.
How to make Photoshop image size accurate for printing?
Hello
-
Open a blank document that has 300 dpi print resolution, 9″ x 9″ in dimension. This creates a blank document 2700×2700 in pixel dimension.
-
Fill white in it if it is not already filled
-
Choose “View/Print Size” from the menu.
-
With a ruler and be careful not to damage your screen, measure in inches the displayed dimensions. It is likely to be smaller than 9 inches
-
Divide 9 inches by the screen measurement you obtain which will provide the correction factor.
-
Now find the screen resolution. Most likely it is set at 72 pixels/inch by
Going to “Edit/Preferences/Units & Rulers” and multiply the current ppi, 72, by the correction factor you calculated earlier and enters that in the screen resolution field. Then click OK.
And it's done 🙂

1. Create a blank document that has 300 dpi print resolution, 9″ x 9″ in dimensions.
2. Fill it with white.
3. From the menu choose “View/Print Size”
4. With an accurate ruler measure the displayed dimensions in inches.
5. Divide 9 inches with actual measurement and the answer is your correction factor.
6. Now, go to “Edit/Preferences/Units & Rulers” and find the screen resolution. Most likely it is set at 72 pixels/inch.
7. Multiply the current ppi, 72, by the correction factor and enter in the place of 72ppi.
8. From now when you choose “View/Print Size” your screen will display the actual dimensions of the print.

Hi Zcell,
You can easily resize an image according to print by following method.
-
First you have to create a blank document which has 300 dpi resolution 9”x9” dimension and 2700×2700 pixel dimension.
-
If it is not filled then fill it by white color.
-
Go to the menu and select View/print size
-
Then you should measure the accurate dimension by a accurate ruler. It always should be less than 9 inch.
-
Then you have to go to “Edit/Preferences/Units & Rulers” and figure out Screen resolution. It should be settled at 72 pixels per inch.
-
Then you need to multiple the current ppi, 72 by the correction factor and click ok.
-
I hope you will get your solution from above.
