Photoshop has the default resolution of 72dpi. When I open an image from my DSLR, this is the resolution it gives me. Should I change this resolution to something higher (eg 300dpi)? Tried looking up photoshop help but got a bit confused!

Photoshops display res is 72 but it's print res is 300, I'd leave it as it is unless you need to resize for some reason.
If you look in edit/preferences somewhere in there are the preset sizes, you could change them if you wanted to, but I don't see the point. Wayne

Your camera is probably taking images at 72dpi . You will need to change to 300 dpi if you want to print them. go to image->image size, click resample, then type 300dpi and the file will resample to 300dpi without affecting your print size.
