How do I change an 17x17 at 72 dpi to an 8x10 (I have to crop it of course) at the highest possible resolution? Scaling an image down always increases the apparent resolution. I can't remember how photoshop used to do it but I could change the physical size and dpi separately and an interactive number that would change as I entered numbers. I alway reduced the image by physically adjusting the physical size to the one I wanted and could raise the dpi separately (when reducing a photo only) but did not go over the original file size which was also posted in the scale control window. I never had any problems with press-printed photos doing it this way. If this doesn't remind anybody of the pShop feature, can you point me to a resource that allows me to properly scale down large photos with low dpi to smaller photos with a higher dpi?

I have a stitched panorama made up of 10 shots. On screen the document is 26497px x 5957 px at 96 dpi I want to resize it for printing to 18ins x 4.1ins at 300 dpi Every time I try to resize it the result appears VERY pixelated. Can anyone please give me step by step instruction to achieve this please.
