Just check automatic, that's the default and it'll do the best it can. by the way, if you're going to have to scale something, let Photoshop do the heavy lifting for you. I'll just highlight the resolution, change it to 300. Given that I said, we'd like for an image to be 300 pixels per inch, you might think, "Well, I'll just change the resolution to 300." Well, let's see how well that works out. It's the same dimensions but it's only 72 pixels per inch. And when I switch, I think you already see some loss of detail. I have a low-resolution version of this image. But what happens if you have a very small image and you need to scale it up, or you have an image that's low resolution? Well, I'll go back and repeat, you can't make something out of nothing. We tell you as a guideline that your images should be at least 250, and aim for 300 pixels per inch at final size for successful printing. If I place this image into InDesign or illustrator at a hundred percent, at the same size, it should print perfectly fine. If I go up to image and image size, I find out that it's a little over four inches wide, three and three-quarters inches tall and it's 300 pixels per inch. Well, why does that mean anything? Look at this image, it looks pretty sharp. When you're working with images, you have to keep in mind that an image only has a certain amount of information in it and you can't make something out of nothing.
