Hi OfficeBuddy,

Without placing too fine a point on it, no graphics app changes the pixel size. That's complete nonsense. All any app does is determine how far apart pixels will be printed/displayed. The 'dpi' figure reported by many apps is meaningless, since the actual 'dpi' figure is entirely dependent on the chosen print size. You can change that and the 'dpi' figure reported by many graphics apps will stubbornly remain unchanged. That's because it's completely irrelevant.

And yes, I have Photoshop (and other graphics apps as well).

What you also need to keep sight of is that every edit to a jpg picture degrades the saved image.
