I never save over a 300ppi (ppi= pixels per inch)(dpi = dots per inch) as I mentioned before most commercial and home printers can't pack that many pixels in per inch.

With an image size of 5065x3357 at 300dpi you can print out approx 11"x17" without quality loss. But at 500dpi you'd only have a 6"x10" print.

pixels divided by pixels per inch = Inches. so... 5065/300 = 16.8"

at least thats how i go about it.
