Resolution (DPI/PPI)Resolution (DPI/PPI)• DPI > “Dots Per Inch”• PPI > “Pixels Per Inch”
– Image resolution is measured in the number of pixels (equally sized squares) can be laid down over an image.
– “a picture element”– the smallest element that can be assigned
one and only one color or shade value
