The Right Resolution For Your ImagesWritten by Granny's Mettle
When using images for your web site or on-screen presentations, it is important to understand that resolution that works well with printed materials does not apply to images put in your web or presentation files. This will definitely result in difficulty of images to download in your web site and presentation programs to run very slowly. Such file formats used are different from those of word processing or database files. They usually are raster image file formats consisting of pixels. Pixels are picture elements or picture files. So when we describe resolution of a file, we're referring to number of pixels in a raster image file. These image files include tiff, jpeg, bmp and gif. All raster images are made up of pixels laid out in a grid. Resolution refers to number of pixels per inch (ppi) or most commonly known as dots per inch (dpi). So when somebody tells you that image is 300dpi, this means that there are 300 pixels for every inch of image. Simply put, resolution refers to how well an image is displayed on screen. Many people make mistake of increasing resolution of a file because they think that high-resolution images make a great picture. However, for web pages or on-screen presentations, an image of 72dpi will look as clearly as that of 720dpi. The one difference is that 720dpi will have a much bigger file, thus slowing performance of a presentation program or making downloading of a web site longer.
