I am going to be changing my ROC filecards to the ones on YoJoe's archives as the UK versions are crap putting it politely. I will be resizing the filecards using XNView and printing them off but I am not sure of pixel size using a tape measure they are 2.5" x 4" can anyone help?
Here is what the US got on their filecards
And the dreck we got

2.5 inches is 180 pixels
4 inches is 288 pixels

I re-sized the cards on XNView but they print off far too big so I have no idea of how to change the printing dimensions. The idea was to resize the US info,print it off and glue them to the UK released cards but unless I can get them shrunk down I may have to abandon this.

You probably need to adjust the DPI (dots-per-inch) of the images, AKA the resolution. You can do this in Photoshop under the Image Size drop-down menu.
I'm not sure what dimensions you need, though.

Is Photoshop another image-hosting site?

No, it's an image-editing program - the one that our Colouring Project tutorials are based upon.
It's not free, but there are pirate copies around if you know where to
look.
