Once inside Photoshop you basically have 'Hollywood in a Box'. You can do a million or more things to your image. Of course you will need to take some classes on how to do this or read some books. However I can show you how to do THREE simple things:

SAVE FOR THE WEB

  • In Photoshop go up to Image > Image Size
  • Change the Resolution to 72 pixels per inch
  • Change the Width to 6 inches
    • Note - Be sure the 3 boxes at the bottom of the dialog box have checkmarks.
  • Click OK

  • At the menu bar click on Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen
  • At the menu bar again click on File > Save As and save it to your desired destination as a jpg file.
  • It will then prompt you to compress it.....choose HIGH then click OK

SAVE FOR POWERPOINT

  • In essense you do the same thing you did in SAVE FOR THE WEB except you save it as a larger image.
  • In Photoshop go up to Image > Image Size
  • Change the Resolution to 144 pixels per inch
  • Change the Width to 10 inches or the Height to 7.5 inches
    • Let me explain....if your image is a vertical then you don't want the height to be over 7.5 inches. If it is a horizontal you don't want the width to be over 10 inches.
     
    • For instance, if you have a vertical image and you set the vertical to 7.5 inches...don't worry about the horizontal dimensions. They will say in proportion.
    • Note - Be sure the 3 boxes at the bottom of the dialog box have checkmarks.
  •  

     

  • Click OK

     

    • At the menu bar click on Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen
    • At the menu bar again click on File > Save As and save it to your desired destination as a jpg file.
    • It will then prompt you to compress it.....choose HIGH then click OK

GO TO PRINT

  • In Photoshop go to Image > Image Size
  • Set the resolution at 240 pixels per inch
  • Determine what size paper you will be printing to and match up the Document Size as close to that size paper as you can.
    • For example if you are printing a horizontal picture to an 8X10 piece of photo paper then set your Width to 10 inches. As long as your Height doesn't go over 8 inches all of your picture will print. (If you height does go over 8 inches then you need to set it for 8 inches and let your Width fall where it may.)

  • Click OK
  • In Photoshop go to File > Page Setup and choose Portrait or Landscape (depending on if your image is horizontal or vertical)

Then Click OK

  • In Photoshop, now go to File > Print and choose the HP Color LaserJet 2500 PLC 6 color printer and click OK.

Note- These are watered-down, simplified instructions designed to just get you started. There are many more variables to image management.
