Class Task #4- Understanding Resolution
Question & Answer
1) Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?
Yes, a 300 dpi image will be clearer when printed out at the same size because you will be able to see the detals in the picture. If you were to print out a 72 dpi image, it’s going to really small and you’re not going to see a lot of the detail that’s in the picture. The picture is going to end up being blurry. If I streched the 72 dpi picture to be the same size as the 300 dpi picture, the image will become too blurry to see. You will end up seeing the hundreds of pixels from the image you just stretched.
2) What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?
A picture created at 1 dpi will look very small. You won’t be able to see any of the detail
in the picture because it’s not big enough to see anything.
