JVJ (RIP):
Resolution is absolute, capnted.
Size is dependent upon display or printing.
If you capture a 10 inch comic book at 300 ppi, your vertical measurement will be 3000 pixels (300 pixels per inch times 10 inches).
If your Windows Viewer only displays 96 ppi (dpi is for printing and is utterly meaningless in the digital world), then Windows Viewer "thinks" your image is 31.25 inches high. (3000 pixels divided by 96 pixels per inch = 31.25 inches) 96 pixels, by the way, is the usual resolution of a Windows display.
Not one pixel gets changed in the display process, just some internal math gets done and the "size" of the image is recalculated.
This is easy to see in Photoshop when you look at [image][image size]. If you change the [resolution] with the [resample image] UN-checked, you can watch the math happen.
Understanding how this works can greatly simplify your workflow. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. I understand all this like the back of my hand. (Though at age 63, the back of my hand isn't all that familiar looking...)

Yep, Jim is the guy to ask about PS questions!

Just because I need to vent for a second...I got caught in the same sort of situation Jim describes, this week. I grabbed an SVG (line art, basically) image to include in a program I'm working on, and converted it to a PNG file. Little icon-y thing. But the program decided it was the size of my fist.
After about an hour of poking and prodding, I stumbled on the minor detail that, somehow, the conversion set the image at 5dpi. Because that's a perfectly obvious default setting, since everybody has pixels the size of a sunflower seed, these days...
