RESOLUTION
What is resolution?
No, not your New Years Resolution! In digital photography, the word resolution refers to how much detail is in the photograph. Typically, this is measured in units called DPI or "Dots per Inch". A higher resolution will have a higher DPI, for example 300 dpi vs 600 or 1200 dpi.
These photos look the same!
Yes, they do. When casually looking at photos on a website, we can usually get away with using a lower resolution photo. They also have the advantage of allowing a website to load quickly.
When does this become important?
Typically, the resolution of a photo starts to become more important if you plan on printing, zooming into, or blowing-up a photo. If you're just going to use your photos on a website, then a lower resolution is adequate. However, if you plan on using your photos to create framed mementos, holiday ornaments, calendars, etc, then we would recommend going with something a little higher. Expect to make a poster to really celebrate a special photo? Then an even higher resolution scan would be the way to go.
She's ready for her close-up!
The samples shown here are taken from the same photos as above. At this level of detail, the difference in the photo's resolutions becomes obvious.
What resolution is best?
There is no easy answer to this question. A lot has to do with what you plan on doing with your photo scans... both in the near-term and in the future. We like to have a conversation with our clients to help them make the best long-term decision. Contact us today so we can help you.
