Then it is not 400 or 100 DPI, but (rounding to 1 inch = 2.5 cm) a 4 inch print, so you have printed 100 pixels to 4 inches and 200 to 4 inches too, so that was 25 and 50 DPI. Maybe you are confused with the printer's DPI (300, 720, 1440...) but those are not pixels, but ink dots. The print system has to convert the file/screen pixels (think about them like squares or rectangles with different levels of intensity) to ink dots which are on or off (one level of intensity, so the printer creates patterns of dots to simulate the intensity levels when looked from "far away"). > Thanks: > Anti > > On Sun, 2006-03-19 at 23:10 +0100, GSR - FR wrote: > > Hi, > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2006-03-19 at 2348.25 +0200): > > > what is the difference between resoloution and size? > > > between a picture with height:100; width:100 and resolution:200 to > > > height:100; width:100 and resolution:400 ? > > > Udi > > > > Resolution is a hint for the real world print size and size is the > > pixels you really have (assuming you are displaying width and height > > in pixel units).
