resize psd files while maintaining layers

I am trying to resize .psd files. What I need is to either reduce the dpi to 72 or reduce the dimensions of it or both to make a smaller file. Smaller in megabytes that is. I have tried many different commands and options. for example, convert -resize 50% . I am getting odd results. The layers are getting off-centered or other odd results. If anyone has done this successfully please let me know who you did it.
IM version 6.6.9-9
Linux RH5
Thanks,
Jeff

You don't say what version of IM, what platform you are using. It would be best to provide a link to an example psd image. I tried on one of my images and though I am not an expert on PSD processing or images, it would appear that IM loses the layer offsets when resizing.
Perhaps the code provided at
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19775&start=15#p78039 will fix your problem?

Sorry about that.
I looked at the example and didn't see anything that would work. That samples I have are very large. One reason why I need to make them smaller for easy viewing as well as editing. Nothing fancy about them, 3 layers, Object, shadow and background. They are however cmyk. Will try rgb and see if that makes a difference.
