That makes the same file look smaller. Say you have an image which is 600x400 dots (pixels) , just to pick a number. That image will totally fill a screen when the resolution is set to 600x400. If you have a monitor whose resolution is set to 1200 x 1200 then the image will fill a little less than a quarter of the screen. the 600 pixels (dots) gets you half way along the 1200 pixel edge and the 400 pixels gets you a third of the way along the other 1200 pixel edge. There is no "per inch here". That can get confusing. A monitor whose resolution is 1200 pixels be 1200 pixels has one thousand two hundred dots along each edge no matter how large or small it is. Ten feet or ten inches. It doesn't matter. It is still only made up of 1200 x 1200 dots. Higher resolution, meaning more dots along each edge, make the same image look smaller, other things being equal, because the same number of dots doesn't get you as far. The numbers I used aren't real world numbers. Things like 1080 by 1224 are more like what you would se, but that would have made the math harder! :-) Barney Barney Rick Dykstra wrote: > Here they are, rescaled to 900x600(ish).
