Proper Settings

Hi Everyone,
Hope that you can help me here. I do Digital Scrapbooking and need to set a setting right. Do you have a turtorial?
Can anyone tell me how to set a proper setting at 3600x3600 300 dpi 12x12 8 bit?
This is wha my friens tells me on my settings.

Hi Lori,
Ok... they all come up in my program showing 3600x3600 pixels, 127 cm (50 inches) x 127 cm (50 inches) 72 dpi, not matter how you do it. BUT...the 24 was ugly and blurry...and what was interesting, is that I can actually see your beautiful paper when you send it in either 48 bit or 16 bit. With the 16 and 48 bit, when I do an image size...it shows me what I wrote above, but I can uncheck the constrain proportions box and reset it to 300 dip, 12 in x 12 inches and nothing changes. It just accepts the changes and all looks good/the same. When you send it in 24, it is nasty to look at, and it takes forever to actually change when I try and reset it to the 12x12, 300 dpi.

I don't understand why your program won't work in 8 bit, and I know that is where the problems are coming from. With the 48 bit and 16 bit it looks like it should and converts fine, but does not show 300 dpi. Will it let you save in 8 bit even if you don't work in it? Is there a place you can make the changes so it looks like it is 300, 12 x 12, even if it is not?
