change screen resolution for specific programs

You can choose from dimensions such as 640x480 pixels or 800圆00 pixels. The resolution is set in the Monitor (or Display) Control Panel by choosing screen dimensions. For example, scanning the same 3x5 inch photograph at 200 pixels per inch the resulting image becomes 600x1000 pixels because each inch of the picture is represented by 200 pixels.Ī computer screen has its own resolution.

Scanning an image at a higher resolution will result in a larger image. When scanning a 3x5 inch photograph at 100 pixels per inch the resulting image becomes 300x500 pixels because each inch is represented by 100 separate pixels. This specifies how many pixels represent a linear inch of an image or monitor screen. A screen and an image can both be measured in pixels. The grid makes up whatever image you are looking at. Pixels are simply blocks of color arranged in a grid.

When working with image and screen resolution we talk about pixels. Although very small images are often seen as 'fuzzy' when viewed at a larger scale, the difference in quality as the images get larger is hardly noticeable when they're viewed at their intended sizes. Larger images may look clearer, but there is a trade-off in screen real estate. If your resolution is higher, the image dimensions will be larger. For screen images, resolution simply means size. For images that are being displayed on the screen, higher resolution does not equate to better clarity as it does with printed images.
