  Resolution
  Refers to the sharpness and clarity of an image. The term is most
  often used to describe monitors, printers, and bit-mapped graphic
  images.                                               http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/resolution.html

  Resolution
  Bitmap images are composed of pixels. Image resolution is simply
  the number of Pixels Per Inch (PPI) in the bitmap grid.

  There are two aspects to every bitmap image - its size (width and
  height in inches) and resolution (the number of pixels per inch).

  These two factors alone determine the total number of pixels in an
  image.

  Resolution
  Some typical resolutions include:
  256x256 - Found on very cheap cameras, this resolution is so low that the picture quality is almost always
  unacceptable. This is 65,000 total pixels.

  640x480 - This is the low end on most "real" cameras. This resolution is ideal for e-mailing pictures or posting
  pictures on a Web site.

  1216x912 - This is a "megapixel" image size -- 1,109,000 total pixels -- good for printing pictures.

  1600x1200 - With almost 2 million total pixels, this is "high resolution." You can print a 4x5 inch print taken at this
  resolution with the same quality that you would get from a photo lab.

  2240x1680 - Found on 4 megapixel cameras -- the current standard -- this allows even larger printed photos, with
  good quality for prints up to 16x20 inches.

  4064x2704 - A top-of-the-line digital camera with 11.1 megapixels takes pictures at this resolution. At this setting,
  you can create 13.5x9 inch prints with no loss of picture quality.

  High-end consumer cameras can capture over 12 million pixels. Some professional cameras support over 16 million
  pixels, or 20 million pixels for large-format cameras. For comparison, Hewlett Packard estimates that the quality
  of 35mm film is about 20 million pixels.

  Resolution
  The more pixels there are in an image, the more detail the image
  can be displayed with.

  The fewer pixels there are in an image, the less detail the image
  can be displayed with. There are two ways to display an image - on
  screen and in print.

  When you are preparing images you need to know what resolution
  to scan or size them to. There is an optimum resolution for each
  and it is very easy to determine.

  The standard for Print is 300 PPI.
