image >> image size >> document size >>

the bigger you go the "grainier" the image will get.

Another key to a good print is to change the dpi to 300 on that same screen. Most digital camera pictures default to 72dpi.

If you scan an image to reprint and enlarge, scan at 600dpi or higher so when you make it bigger, it can still support a true 300dpi instead of Photoshop interpreting 300.
