Why are my pictures smaller and heavier on illustrator and photoshop?

Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem that I can't fix and it's geting in the way of my work. I'm the sole designer (and trainee) so I don't have anyone to help me at work with this.
I work on a macbook pro (retina screen), with CSS, and when I scale pictures on Photoshop to, let's say, 1000px wide and then save them at 150dpi and to 300 dpi and open them on Illustratot, the pictures don't fit properly on an A4 board. And the 300dpi picture is much smaller than the 150dpi one (shouldn't it be the opposite?).
And then, the real problem comes with my co-workers, who work on pc and with PhotoScape, when I asked them to scale the same pictures at the same ratio (1000px wide), when they send me the scaled pictures and I open them on the same Illustrator project, the picture is much much bigger than the one I scaled on Photoshop on my macbook pro, and at the same time much much lighter.
My pictures are about Megas or Gigas heavy, and theirs is KB heavy.
So each time I need to work with pictures I need to constantly ask them to scale these pictures and send it to me. Which is ridiculous.
My projects keep being huge (very heavy) and I don't know why.
Attached is what's happening. The biggest pic is the original one. The one on the left is the one scaled on PhotoScape, and the ones on the right were scaled on Photoshop at the same ratio as the one on PhotoScape (so they should have the same px in wide), and the one up is 300dpi, and the one down is 170dpi.

PPI is the correct word for an image's resolution.
As for printing: ask the service provider what's best for their workflow. It totally depends on the process, on the hardware, on the paper and on the size of the print.
For video: use screen resolution unless you want to enlarge the footage in the video.
Additionally:
read the manual of the video software in use
read about printing:

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Why are my Pictures distorted and not fully filled with color?

    HP ENVY 110 e-All-in-One Printer - D411a.  Why do Printed Pictures come out distorted and and Color not filled in fully?

    SG asked rsayen06 several important questions to get at the core of that user's Premiere Elements issues. So far I do not see any answers to the questions. An the answers will be in those details. Although you have offered your project settings and saying that you have the same problem, they are but a small part of the troubleshooting equation.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. You say you are putting pictures and music on the Timeline? How many pictures and what are their pixel dimensions? What type of music, what compression and file extension? What is the total duration of the Timeline content?
    3. When you playback the Timeline content in the Edit Mode Monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrender Timeline?
    4. When you say that you see distortion in the pictures...how are they distorted...
    a. from the point of view of pixel aspect ratio, flicker, lines, other?
    b. What do your computer resources look like in the way of installed and available RAM and free hard drive space? Are you getting any error messages associated with any of the project difficulties that you are encountering?
    c. When you get to the burn dialog, what does the Quality Area show for Space Required and Bitrate?
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.
