Photoshop requires more memory and disk space to process high-resolution images, therefore increasing the time it takes Photoshop to display, process, and print them. Increasing the resolution of an image doesn't always improve the quality of the image, and instead only increases its file size. You want the resolution of your images to be the highest value your printer can use. Resolutions higher than that only add information to your image that your printer can't use, but must process, and thus increase print times. If you plan to print continuous-tone images (for example, photographs), begin by using a resolution that is 1.5 to 2 times the screen frequency, measured in lines per inch (lpi), that you'll use to print the image. For line-art images, such as drawings, use the same value as your printer's resolution, measured in dots per inch (dpi). For example, if the resolution of your printer is 600 dpi, and you plan to print the image using the printer's default screen frequency of 85 lpi, save continuous-tone images at a resolution between 127 ppi (85 lpi x 1.5) and 170 ppi (85 lpi x 2), and save line-art images at a resolution of 600 ppi." whaaaaa? tell me they didn't _really_ write this!!? omg! They did! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! k
