	Image resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For digital raster-images, the convention is to describe the image resolution with the set of two positive integer-numbers, where the first number is the number of pixel-columns (width) and the second is the number of pixel-rows (height).
		In sampled images or other sampled data, the resolution should usually not exceed the sampling rate, or there will be aliasing.
		Resolution can be a measurement of the total number of pixels displayed but this applies mainly to static images and can be affected by how it is displayed.

	Image Resolution
		However, although the term is not effective, image resolution commonly is referred to in dots per inch (dpi)—dpi more appropriately is attributed to device resolution or output resolution, where the number of dots an output device is able to produce within an inch represents the resolution of the device.
		Output resolution for computer-to-plate devices (i.e., platesetters) typically is about 2400dpi; however, because no significant visible improvement is realized when 2400ppi and 1200ppi monochrome images are compared, the range for monochrome image resolution is suggested as 900-1200ppi.
		This recommended resolution, as well as ranges suggested for other file types, assumes that images have been scanned at the same size intended for print (e.g., the typical image width is approximately 20 picas, or 3 1/3 inches, for a single-column image that will appear in a double-column standard size publication).

	Image resolution, file size, picture size and jpg compression
		Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image.
		Resolution is sometimes identified by the width and height of the image as well as the total number of pixels in the image.
		By using JPG compression, you can keep the physical size of the image the same and reduce the amount of disk space required to store it but you will be sacrificing the quality of the image.

		Pixel dimensions are also used to indicate digital camera resolution and the resolution of different sensor arrays, usually expressed in terms of the total number of pixels captured.
		It is worth remembering when resizing any image, that the number of pixels present in the original scan remains the same, regardless of changes to the overall output size of the image.
		In reality, resolutions as low as 4 ppi would not produce a coherent image at this size, but these figures are easy to illustrate and the relationships demonstrated are the same at any resolution.

	PixelEasy's Guide to Understanding Digital Camera Resolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A digital image, just like the image you see on your computer monitor or television, is made up of multitudes of tiny dots called pixels.
		The term "Resolution", when used to describe a digital camera, typically refers to the size of the digital image the camera produces, and is usually expressed in terms of "megapixels", which is equivalent to 1 million pixels.
		The result is a larger image in terms of resolution, but one that now has much less clarity because you simply cannot produce something from nothing; the data was not on the original image and thus has been artificially created.

	Image resolution for the video monitor screen
		Images are dimensioned in pixels, and screens are dimensioned in pixels, and these 500 pixels will fill 500 pixels on any screen, but those same 500 pixels will fill a different area in inches on different size screens.
		It may have other embedded images filling areas on that paper page, which are resampled very small to fit their allotted space in the image of the full page we see on the screen.
		It also means that when you want to evaluate your image critically, be sure to view the image at 100% Actual size (even if you must scroll around on it), so you are seeing the genuine image pixels that will print, and not a rough resampled temporary copy.

		Spatial resolution is usually determined by the sensor used to digitize the image or by the process used to create synthetic images.
		Even though the resolution of this image is only twice as high as the 64 x 64 pixel image, it requires 16384 bytes to store (128 times 128 times 1), or four times the amount of space required for the 64 x 64 image.
		Since digital images are usually two-dimensional, the processing loops of most image programs are basically two nested loops, one for the x dimension and one for the y dimension.

	Pixels, images, and files
		Considerable confusion arises because image size is specified by the number of pixels, the "resolution" in dots or pixels per inch (dpi or ppi), and the physical size (width and height).
		A more accurate table, based the true image sharpness produced by the lens/camera combination, is presented in the introduction to Sharpness in Imatest.com.
		When an image is sent to the printer, the image editor or printer driver resizes it to the printer's native resolution-- 720 dpi for Epson Photo printers; 600 dpi for HP and Canon.

	Image Resolution for Color Printing
		Images should be 300dpi at the final size in the layout.
		For clear and crisp printing, images at their final size in the layout should be at 300dpi (dots per inch = squares of color in an inch) or 400dpi if the images include text.
		The pixel dimensions of an image identify the resolution.

	Understanding Digital Image Resolution
		Digital images are comprised of pixels lined up side-by-side, both vertically and horizontally.
		High resolution images are made up of more pixels than low resolution images (and thus result in better prints).
		Cameras' maximum resolutions are usually clearly indicated on the packaging or even on the camera itself.

	A Word on Image Resolution
		Image resolution refers to the spacing of pixels in an image and is measured in pixels per inch, ppi, (sometimes called dots per inch, dpi).
		Because the number of pixels in an image is fixed, increasing the size of an image decreases its resolution and decreasing its size increases its resolution.
		Output resolution refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) that the output device, such as a laser printer or imagesetter, produces.

		A 5 megapixel image is typically 2,560 pixels wide and 1,920 pixels high and has a resolution of 4,915,200 pixels, rounded off to 5 million pixels.
		Because the resolution is "normalized" to the picture height, the results of cameras with different aspect ratios can be compared easily.
		The absolute number of (vertical) lines the camera is able to resolve along the horizontal axis (image width) is equal to the horizontal LPH multiplied by the aspect ratio.

	Understanding resolution and MTF curves: introduction
		It was obtained by photographing a chart (typically the USAF 1951 lens test chart) and looking for the highest resolution pattern where detail was visible.
		The resolution of this film is rated as 60 lp/mm for 1.6:1 chart contrast and 140 lp/mm for 1000:1 chart contrast.
		These equations are used in the page on Lens testing to calculate MTF from an image of a chart consisting of sine patterns of various frequencies, where the sine pattern contrast in the original chart is assumed to be constant with frequency.

	Re: image resolution limits
		The fundamental limit of optical resolution is determined by the wavelength of light that is used to illuminate the object.
		Also, the best optical instruments place their images at the eye's near point so that we can observe the greatest detail in these telescopic or microscopic images which are usually used to improve our eye's resolution through the process of magnification.
		The aperture used for the images on the right side are about double the diameter of the aperture used to form the images on the left side.

		The main point to remember is that scanning resolution, measured in dpi, ppi or spi (dots, pixels or samples per inch) and printing resolution, expressed in dpi or lpi (lines per inch) are normally not the same.
		This image could have come from scanning a 25 x 17 mm section of a 35 mm slide at 3000 dpi or from a 250 dpi scan of a 30 x 20 cm print.
		You can either change the image size and the program calculates the new resolution, or you can input a resolution and the new image size is worked out for you.

	Image Resolution and Print Size (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Similar to the way that digital camera manufacturers have overstated their camera resolutions, they have also overstated the size of prints that can be made from their cameras.
		According to the table, an image captured with a 1600x1200 digital camera printed at 200 lpi is indistinguishable from a real photograph in the 4.2" x 5.7" print size.
		For example, on a 200 lpi printer, the difference between a 5x7 image from a 1600x1200 digicam and a real photograph would be barely noticeable.

	Image Resolution, File Size and Download Speed
		A file size is measured in kilobytes (KB), and resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi), often referred to as ppi or pixels per inch.
		High resolution scans provide a higher dpi and a more detailed image, but usually result in an impractical file size and slow loading speed.
		Before scanning your image, you must set the correct resolution and scale (size of image).

	Gigapixel Images
		Given that the resolving power of the human eye (under ideal conditions at the center of the retina) is about 1 arcminute (1/60th of one degree), this image captures considerably more detail than I (or any other normal sighted human) was able to see with my eye when standing on the overlook at Bryce Point.
		The short answer is "why not?" As digital camera resolutions have increased, and the hardware, techniques and software for stitching multiple images into composites have improved, there has been speculation about when gigapixel images would become possible.
		Another advantage to an image this size is the ability to crop very small portions of this image in a number of different ways and still produce extremely high resolution large prints.
