Hi Joel,

You're welcome!

Under image/resize, it's the second from the bottom check box I believe...
BTW, depending on whether you are up-sizing or down-sizing the image will
determine if it will interpolate (up-size) or decimate (down-size) the
image.

If you select the box, you get interpolated or decimated results...in other
words, PS completely re-calculates ALL your data values!  If you don't check
it, PS does NOT touch the data at all, it just provides new dimensional
information in the header.  Remember, a file that has N pixels across
doesn't have any resolution per se...since resolution requires a
dimension...  So, 640 pixels over a 10" span, has the exact number of pixels
as 640 pixels over a 5" span, but the resolutions are different.

Did that make sense to you?
