Digital Image

Pixel vs Resolution

• Pixel- Individual light sensor

• Resolution- describes pixel count and density

DPI Dots (pixels) per inch

• Measure for spatial printing

• Higher the number/amount of pixels, the larger the image can be printed without looking blurry

Low 72 High 125-300

You should work at 300 dpi

Digital Image File Formats

JPEG, TIFF, Raw

Digital Image File Formats

****JPEG Fine: Highest quality of the compressed or glossy format. Much smaller than uncompressed TIFF*****

TIFF: Largest file size, High quality, Cross platform

Raw: High resolution, un-altered, un-adjusted image, Bigger file size, fewer images on storage device. SLRs can work in this mode, problematic when printing
