Yeah, i got everything figured out now... resolution is totally independent from INCHES. I mean 800x600 can not be measured in INCHES. That all depends on DPI or PPI (I think they are the same thing) Which mean, DOTS or POINTS - PER PIXEL. I was working with 72 PPI and cafepress suggests 100 to 300. Now I changed them to 200 PPI and the images got astonishingly HUGE. The more PPI the smaller the image gets in INCHES. Now that i resized the images, they do not look as sharp as in the 72 PPI since I started working with 72 PPI and now changed it to 200 PPI. Nevertheless, I worked arround with Photoshop and discovered that there is a way to enlarge the picture without having TOO much image deterioration. There is no way to eliminate it tough. I did my best and now its all up to placing images and seeing how the final product will look like.
