My normal fiddling procedure is to work with the .tif CD as scanned. What occurred in this case is that I'm preparing discs to take to a lab for printing (11x16's and 20/30's) to fill a nice size order. I made new .tif "proof prints" for two of those to be printed as 20x30's and for another to be printed 11x16. Proofs were printed 6.67x10 from files which were sized without 'resampling'. As I recall. Is there a way of verifying the size of these files? I'm not feeling so good.
