...heh, a lot smaller. But that can be a good thing if you have a fairly large pic and want to use it as a small pic.

File>new>advanced options
enter 300 in the provided area (resolution) and when you have the options as you wish, ok it.
then open up the pic in the workspace as usual.

can't you make a new file and just pop in the image you already have as file>open as layer? since the new file you made is in the proper resolution, I would assume that gimp would import the pic opened as a new layer as the proper new resolution. If not, I think you can do the conversion in your default photo program.
