I hope someone can help me.

I am creating packaging for a client, and I decided to create the file bigger than the die line. So the dieline lets say is 11x9.5 inches and I just scaled the vector dieline bigger in my photoshop file to be able to work on a bigger canvas. I did this because i was editing alot of illustration drawings and wanted to be able to copy and paste them into different projects in the future without losing quality. I figured once I would be done with the project I could always change the size of the document and image to the correct size for the client.

So now it's done, but I have alot of problems!

When I change the image size, alot of the effects, strokes and gradients are changing from the original design!
I tried to create the whole layer into a smart object but the gradient mask I created also changed from the original design.

The client wants the file in the 11.5x9 cm plus a 1/8 inch bleed format, and currently my design looks like this: www.dropbox.com/s/zxvf2fyak77mu7s/Screenshot%202013-11-29%2018.28.31.png
Can someone please help on how to get this document scaled down? I would really appreciate it!

Why don't you just merge the layers together and then scale it down? It will rasterize all strokes and effects etc.

You could also experiment when saving with Bicubic Smoother/Sharper etc to see which gives you the best result.
