I'm trying to scale my image down without messing up the text, so I did this:



Wherein I increased the resolution and decreased the height.

Well, as you can see, the height is 2 inches in the dialog; however, in my printout, the height is about 5-6 inches. It's a noticeable difference. It's very important that the image only be 2 inches in height and locked in width. What are the limits to the resolution before it starts overwriting the height-width restrictions? Seems like a bug?

Yeah it seems a little screwed up. You can go to Image>Print Size and change the resolution to the value you want. This doesn't change the size of the image just the dpi setting (which will affect the print size). Then scale the image to the size you want but don't change the resolution settings. If scale image doesn't work go to Image>Canvas Size to resize. Select "all layers" under resize layers and click the center button before resizing.
