	DC Conspiracy \| Blog: dpi, lpi, resolution, &c.
		The frequency of the dots (benday dots) is measured in dots per inch (dpi), and in computer programs it's how we measure resolution.
		In an image editing program this mode is called "grayscale." The illusion of tonal range is created by varying the size of the benday dots — smaller ones read as lighter gray; one that half the size of a full dot will read as 50% fl, and so on.
		There will only be as many dots in an image as when it was first created, and typing in a larger value later on will not actually increase the quality of your image.
