The way the photos appear in PhotoShop is a function of the ppi and the
percentage at which they're viewed. The image size is somewhat
irrelevant if one doesn't consider the ppi. For Sunday supplement type
magazine use, size at about 40 megs, which would be 8x10 inches at 300
ppi. Use bicubic sharper to downsize them from your current dimension.
Make sure they're 8-bit. Set the color space to Adobe 98 or as
specified by the pub. Then save as jpegs at maximum quality (12).

I've got a few pics that are going to a magazine. They are now
4000ppi PSD

sized
JPEG files. What would be the ideal ppi for something like this - the
magazine is one of those weekend supplements for a newspaper. Also,
when
I've resized the photos and looked at them @ print size in PS, they
seem to
be smaller than the dimensions indicate. Can someone explain that to
me.
I've never done this magazine/newspaper thing before in quite this way

submitting the pix via email.
