I did a lot of work on an image for projection. It had to be 1024 x 768 pixels, 72 dpi and JPEG level 6. I saved the JPEG and the psd file.
I now want to send the image for printing but they want a JPEG at 400 dpi. I am hoping to have a print of about 14x10 ins.

What I want to know is will it loose quality if I just convert it in "image size" to 14x10 and 400 dpi, or do I have to start all over again and do the work from the RAW file.

I am a relative beginner to Photoshop and would appreciate some guidance.

PS. Is dpi the same as pixels per inch in resolution?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can't up-scale from your current resolution without losing quality. This may be fine if you are producing a billboard, not so good if you are producing a catalogue.

A couple of links for your consideration. understanding resolution
basics of ppi etc
dpi size guide
