I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this sooo... yeah...
Well I'm supposed to make a yearbook cover that is 300 dpi, and I know that dpi stands for dots per inch, but does the size of the document matter? Can you determine the document size by knowing the dpi? I read some stuff about but I'm still confused wacko.gif haha
Here are the things I skimmed a bit: http://www.darrenbarefoot.com/archives/200...eally-mean.html

Make sure Resolution for the Document Size is set at 300. Then set the width and height of the Document Size to whatever you need it to be physically. Don't even look at the pixel dimensions, it's not necessary.

(I should know, I designed our yearbook cover.)

You've gotta exercise caution when resizing photos though, or when converting a lesser DPI photo into a greater DPI photo.
