Image resolution

Resolution represents the amount of pixels or dots per inch.


Definition indicates the total number of pixels in an image. When you buy a camera, it is the number of megapixels it has. The higher the definition (higher number of megapixels) the larger you can print.


To know the maximum print size of your photos, there is a very simple calculation to do. For example, if you want to print a 12''x18'' photo at 300 dpi, you must do (12x300) x (18x300) = 19'440'000 so you must have a camera with at least 20 megapixels of definition to obtain a perfect photo. It is possible to print at a lower resolution than 300 dpi, but be aware that if you go lower than 150 dpi, the quality of your image will be affected.
