Recently, the option of changing the document size width and height (Image, resize, image size, document size) seems to be linked to the resolution. I used to be able to keep the width and resolution the same (6" x 4") but change the resolution from 300 dpi to 72 dpi. How do I unlock the two? (I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0)

Look at the resampling checkbox.

With resampling on, you can change the width/height and resolution - and the image gets resampled to the appropriate number of pixels.

Without resampling, you are just changing the metadata about how physically wide or tall it should be -- so the width and height are closely tied to the resolution (because you have a fixed number of pixels).

hi,

As said by Chris If you want to change the no of pixels in the image either to increase or to decrease it , you should have the resampling on .
If you does not do it , you does not able to unlock the three resolution,width,hight.

thanks,
Neeraj
