Tips & Warnings

• Digital photographs contain a fixed number of dots per inch (dpi), and this determines resolution. By decreasing file size, you can increase resolution, and vice versa.
• A resolution of 72 dpi is typically used for images that will be viewed on the Internet.
• For photos that you're going to print, match the resolution to your printer: If the printer can only output 300 dpi, saving a file as 600 dpi doesn't do you any good.
• When a canvas is resized, the existing content maintains its original size and resolution.
