Go to Image Size, which is under View I think. It will say the size and dpi. Make sure you uncheck 'Constrain Proportion's, or it may be 'Resample Image'. I can't remember without looking at it. I think you can uncheck both. Anyway, if you bring the size down and the dpi increases, then you didn't uncheck the right thing. It shouldn't change. To view a photo on screen, it doesn't need to be any more than 72 dpi. If you want to print it out it needs to be higher. But all you really need to do is reduce the size without changing the dpi. I hope this makes sense. Its hard to explain to someone else.
