So my girlfriend keeps telling me how she loves this one painting of mine (Which has a very distinct style) and how she would love to have a huge print of it on her wall. Thing is, that one painting she likes was only supposed to be a quick sketch and therefore I only saved it as a tiny JPG, discarding the .PDF file. So I thought I'd make a new one, in the same style.
So here are my questions (Beware, extreme noobiness ahead.):
I should set my colours to CMYK, right? Just making sure.
Is there an easy way to set the resolution so that I can print it out on anything from 30 cm x 50 cm to 40 cm x 60 cm? Haven't quite made up my mind yet, you see. And it would be great to able to change my mind and use a lower or slightly larger size if I find out that the one I'm working on is going to look awkward in such a big size. I know that 300 DPI is the ideal resolution for prints, but what exactly do I put into the 'New File' dialog in PS? And will this allow me to change my mind about the size later? English isn't my first language, so I hope my that question came across alright.
