Photoshop Help Required

I have used a template in Photoshop to create a DVD/CD Cover and I have an issue saving the image for upload at the correct dimensions.

This is what I have - CD cover @ 4.75 x 4.75 in with 300dpi. This gives me an image with a resolution of around 3000 x 3000 pixels.

There is no problem printing from PS as the dimensions in Inches is the default print size. The problem comes when I export the image as a JPEG ready for upload and sharing. It seems the pixel resolution becomes the default size settings. This will give the end users problems in printing at the correct size for their CD cases.

I, can get round this as my printer allows me to 'print at the original size' which defaults back to the size set in Inches but I don't think everyone has this option.

Is there any way to ensure that the end user will d/l or save the uploaded image at the correct size so that they will not have to do anything other than print it?

The last thing a want to do is make it a difficult thing for them to obtain.

FYI - I would like to keep the dpi resolution if possible as there is a lot going on and this might be lost if the quality is reduced.

Thanks in advance

Dan
