Need some help with a game insert...

I have the insert for Sagaia (Genesis) but need to resize it in Photoshop to print it out. Everything I do just seems to make it larger than the paper itself and I'm using actual dimensions of a typical Genesis insert (10 3/8 wide x 6 3/4 high).

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks.

Go under File>Print Options, and then input your dimensions in the "Scaled Print Size" area. Hit the Page Setup button to make sure your paper is oriented correctly and you should be good to go. As long as you're scaling it down from a larger image it should look fine.

Got it!
Do you know how to clean up the text so that it's clearer?

What dpi/resolution are you printing in?

(click IMAGE, then IMAGE SIZE)

Hmm...

If it's a flattened file, short of actually redoing the text, or cleaning it all up with the brush tool, I'm not sure what you can do without seeing the file.

If you've been resizing it up and down (or saving a .jpg over and over), try starting from the original file again. The image quality may have degraded as you were working on it.
