Yes and yes. <g> It does make a subtle difference in print sizes, especially if 
you go radically big or small. If you go big, you tend to lose a gooch of 
brightness and a bit more than a gooch of contrast. In the old Photoshop-only 
days, this was corrected using curves in soft proofing. Things tend to get a 
little denser the smaller you go, so you might want to ease up a little, 
especially on the contrast. But that's counsel of perfection. Most folks would 
never notice.
