If they want JPEG images they probably want them at 72ppi. An 8x10 at
72ppi is not a large file. It seems small, I would think the thing to do
is clarify that with the magazine.
As to the size of the print on the screen in Photoshop, under
<Edit><Preferences><Units & Rulers> there is a <New Document Preset
Resolutions> section. Set <Screen Resolution> to a value that will
display a <Print Size> image actual size. On my monitor that is 96ppi at
1280x1024 and 112ppi at 1600x1200. You can set rulers on and measure
that they match a physical ruler. It may take a bit of trial and error.
This has nothing to do with the size of the print from the printer but
only the size on the screen I like my print sized monitor image to match
theactual printed image.

I've got a few pics that are going to a magazine. They are now 4000ppi PSD
or TIFF files of about 130mb in size. The magazine wants 5x7 or 8x10 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.
