Image Resolution and Dimensions
- Understanding Resolution: Detail in an image is what resolution describes, it is mostly PPI (pixels per inch) for monitors while for printers it is DPI (dots per inch). What do higher resolutions indicate? More pixels or dots per inch and thus a sharper, higher quality image.
- Considerations for Screens and Print: Differences in screen resolution and display quality created the need for different considerations when dealing with screen images and print images. Print images normally require color for top quality although monitor resolutions vary. It should be noted however that when it comes to online display quality more dependence is laid on pixel dimensions rather than DPI or PPI.
