Taking Photographs—Image Quality and Size
Image Size
Image size is measured in pixels. Smaller sizes pro duce smaller fi les, making
them suited to dis tri bu tion via e-mail or inclusion in web pages. Con verse ly,
the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without
becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose image size according to the space
available on the memory card and the task at hand.
