Resize photos in Photoshop to make an 8x10 photo
I would like to know how to get the correct image size to make a standard size photo (3.5x5, 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10) in Photoshop. I can never get the right width and height for these sizes. Can anyone help me?

Not sure what you really want... I've never had to "resize" a photo just to print it out. I use Paint Shop Pro, but I'm sure Photoshop would handle photos the same and automatically make them "fit" the print size of choice.

One way with Photoshop is to go to "Print with Preview" (Clrl+P) and select the desired settings.

You can print "FIT TO PAGE" with PHOTOSHOP; select that option when you print. News for you: if you want Photoshop to print the edge of the paper, it never will; it will always leave a margin at the edge of the paper that you trim off with a trimmer. This is because professionally Photoshop prints extra "instructional codes" at the margin for commercial cutting machine.( have you ever look at a commercial flyer from a SuperMarket and sometimes you see the "strange symbols[colored] at the edge of the paper? Well, a cutting shop is supposed to have trimmed that part off with their computerized cutters) |

Just like everything else in photoshop there are a few ways to do this. The easiest is to use the crop tool and choose the 8x10 preset and crop the image, you can also set the dpi for the image while doing this but you really want to leave it alone, increasing the DPI from 72 to say 300 using the crop tool will degrade the image substantially.
The best way to increase the dpi is using the resize tool. Make sure you turn off "resample image" when you set the dpi and the image size will remain the same. If you don't the image size will increase proportionally to the dpi and will look terrible.
