.Pixels and image size
A digital camera image is a collection of small |
|
| |||
Pixel | |||||
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are |
|
|
| ||
|
|
| |||
in an image, the more detail there will be. |
|
|
| ||
However, you generally can do with fewer |
|
|
| ||
pixels when printing an image (L size) through |
|
|
| ||
a print service, attaching an image to |
|
|
| ||
when viewing the image on a computer, etc. |
|
|
| ||
The size of an image indicates how many |
|
|
| ||
pixels it contains, and is expressed as |
|
|
| ||
horizontal pixels | vertical pixels. |
