Image resolution refers to the number of pixels per inch in a digital image. Higher resolutions allow for more detail but increase file size. When printing, a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (PPI) or higher is typically recommended. To modify an image's resolution, one opens the Image Size dialog box and changes the resolution value. However, increasing a low-resolution image's PPI does not actually add quality, and decreasing a high-resolution image's PPI results in quality loss. The steps also depend on the intended use of the image, such as web display versus printing.
This document discusses image resolution and its relationship to print size. It states that resolution is measured in pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI), with higher resolutions providing more detail.

The resolution of an image refers to the number of pixels per inch, which impacts the level of detail visible. Image size is measured by the number of pixels, while resolution impacts the physical size when printed. When sharing images online or by email, they should generally be resized to 600x800 pixels or smaller for best viewing on monitors.
Digital images are composed of tiny squares called pixels that each have a value for red, green, and blue levels. The resolution of an image refers to the number of pixels per inch, with higher resolutions allowing for clearer detail when printed. When resizing images, downsizing can be done without quality loss but upsizing will result in some loss of quality due to interpolation of new pixel values. The appropriate size depends on the intended use, such as larger sizes for printing versus smaller sizes for online viewing.
Image quality is determined by factors like sharpness, noise, dynamic range, tone reproduction, contrast, color accuracy and distortion. Sharpness refers to detail while noise is random pixel variations. Dynamic range is the light levels an image can capture. Tone reproduction is the relationship between scene luminance and brightness. Contrast affects loss of detail. Color accuracy and distortion can also impact quality. Software filters like blurring the background can improve an image's quality by making the subject stand out more, though they cannot add new detail. Frequency modulation screening randomly distributes dots to simulate gray levels and keeps dots the same size, varying frequency. It eliminates moiré effects seen with traditional screening. Higher resolution images, like 300 ppi versus 72

Vector images use mathematical formulas of lines and curves to create shapes without using pixels, allowing them to stay smooth when zoomed in or out. Raster images are made up of pixels that become visible as jagged edges when zoomed in. Antialiasing reduces jagged edges by surrounding pixel borders with intermediate shades, making lines appear smoother. Image resolution, measured in DPI or PPI, determines image quality and file size, with higher resolution images having more pixels and better quality but larger file sizes. Common file formats for images include TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and GIF, each suited for different uses.
Vector images use mathematical formulas of lines and curves to create shapes without using pixels, allowing them to stay smooth when zoomed in or out.

Pixels are the smallest controllable elements that compose an image. When put together, pixels of varying colors blend to form the overall picture. The number of colors a pixel can display depends on its bit depth. Higher bit depths allow for more colors and higher quality images. Video and image resolution refers to the number of pixels and depends on factors like aspect ratio, frame rate, and video format. Compression reduces file sizes by discarding some image data using codecs, which can lower quality. Compositing combines separate visual elements to create a single image through layering and green screening.
This document discusses key concepts in digital imaging including raster vs vector graphics, resolution, anti-aliasing, aspect ratios, and common file formats. Raster images use pixels on a grid and can lose quality when enlarged, while vector images use mathematical relationships and remain smooth at any size. Higher resolution means more image detail but larger file size. Anti-aliasing reduces jagged edges. Aspect ratios determine image dimensions for different display formats. Common file formats include JPEG, TIFF, EPS, and PDF.
