|
|
> The resolution is how many pixels per unit you want for
|
|
your image. The default 72dpi (72 pixels/inch) is good if
|
|
you want to create web graphics (you can alter the default
|
|
value in the <SPAN
|
|
CLASS="INTERFACE"
|
|
>preferences</SPAN
|
|
> dialog).
|
|
However if you are going to print your image, you will
|
|
probably need a lot more than 72dpi. You have several
|
|
choices about how you want to measure the resolution
|
|
— pixels per inch, mm, points or picas (there is
|
|
also an option which will bring up a dialog with even more
|
|
choices). We suggest that you stick to ppi since that the
|
|
most common format when you are dealing with images. You
|
|
can have different X and Y resolutions by unlinking the
|
|
<SPAN
|
|
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
|
|
>chain</SPAN
|
|
>, but that is not recommended.

pixels in the top frame or in a real world unit in the
|
|
middle frame. If you are working with web graphics we
|
|
suggest that you deal with pixels directly. If you are
|
|
going to print your image, then setting in a real world
|
|
unit is the preferred.
