Subject: Re: reduce image resolution of a bitmap or jpg again
In reply to: Jason 's message, "reduce image resolution of a bitmap or jpg again" on 01:32:00 03/20/02 Wed


Hi Jason,

There are two aspects to resolution: the dimensions and the values of the dots per inch properties.

For example, a 100x100 graphic at 100dpi will print 1 inch by 1 inch. If the resolution is changed to 50dpi, it will print 2 inches by 2 inches, but it will still be 100x100 pixels. On screen they will be identical, even if the DPI fields are different.

When changing the resolution you need to change both the DPI fields and resize the graphic. If you don't resize the graphic, it will be identical on screen, because the screen only displays pixels.

Best regards,

Michel
