Hi NG

I am a fairly newbie when it comes to photoshop, so bear over with me if
this is a stupid question :-). But I have been making some drawings on a
800 x 600 pixel size - 600dpi. Now they need to get printed on 148x105
mm - 300dpi - as a postcard.

Now is it somehow possible to get my 800 x 600 drawing converted to
postcard size ? As it looks now the drawing get very small !

First save a copy of your original image. Go into Image>Image Size, check
the Resample box, and change the pixels per inch setting to 300, and type in
the new dimensions in mm. If you are using CS2, select the Bicubic Sharper
option. Otherwise, finish with Unsharp Mask - with a setting of about
radius 2.0, percent 75, and threshold 0. Adjust to make your image somewhat
sharper, but don't overdo it - if your image takes on a metallic look, it
means you've gone too far.

As others have mentioned, the final image may not be up to the best
standards. That is your judgment to make, and you may need to recreate the
drawing as Tacit suggests.
