Topic: Dots per inch


  
 Scanning, Resolution and dpi
In the first scan at 100 dots per inch the file in your computer will have (600)*(400)=240,000 total pixels.
In the second scan at 200 dots per inch the file in your computer will have (1200)*(800)=960,000 total pixels.
If you take a normal 6" X 4" photograph and scan it in at 100 dots per inch you'll end up with a picture in your computer that is 600 X 400 pixels.

"Pixels per inch" refers to the number of pixels that are in a digital file.
For example, a printer may be referred to as 1440 x720 dpi.
If the RGB file is an 8x10 at 200 ppi the files size is 9.16 MB.

 Photoshop for Astrophotographers
In some cases, such as with computer monitors, film recorders, and LightJet photographic printers, there is a 1:1 relation between the PPI of the digital image file and the DPI of the output device.
Lets take an example of a sharp fine-grained 35mm transparency original scanned at 2700 pixels per inch of true optical resolution.
1 x 1.5 inches at 4000 pixels per inch on a film recorder = 4000 x 6000 pixels = 68.7mb file.

 pixels
While the term ‘pixel’ did not yet exist in the early halftone days, in fact each halftone dot was a pixel, and a halftone image can be analyzed by the same mathematics used to analyze digital images.
The second means the action of creating a hard-copy of an image from your computer on your computer’s printer- usually an ink-jet or a laser printer.
Some software, if it encounters a file that does not contain a physical size, will by default assign a value of 72 pixels per inch (again, that holdover from the early days of computer graphic arts).

Notice I had to calculate pixels per inch - and that s why no one uses it except for images where the software calculates it for you.
I used the dot triads per pixel table that I had calculated earlier for her monitor, so that I could list how many dot triads appear in each 6x6 pixel image.
For example, the 640x480 snapshot shows 70 dot triads, but only 14 slats.

 "The Resolution's Too Low" - The Web Developer's Journal
As we've already mentioned, graphics software like Photoshop generally sees one pixel as one dot, so it's effectively working in ppi and dpi at the same time.
The main problem with printing Web graphics is that as they're transferred to the print environment, ppi become dpi.
Keeping Quality Up The key to quality is to transfer the screenshot or graphic into a print format in the best way possible.

 Canon Digital Photography Forums - dots per inch
The 'Pixels per inch' rate mentioned by editing programs like Photoshop has no influence on printing dimensions at all, only the actual number of vertical and horizontal pixels has.
The only 'dimensions' a digital picture in a computer has are the exact number of pixels it is made of.
Thus, you'll still need a minimum of 150 and optimally at least 240 pixels per inch of print to get good quality.

 CSA Newsletter, Winter '01: Scanning Drawings
A drawing scanned at 150 d.p.i., for instance, would be more than twice as wide on a computer as on paper, since the 150 points scanned in each inch would need more than two inches of screen pixels for display (two inches at 72 pixels per inch yields 144 pixels).
Were the image to be made larger still, for example, doubled in width, the computer would have to create a value for every alternate pixel; the file would contain no data for those pixels.
Since the original was a photocopy rather than one of the originals, all scans were done as black-and-white scans, not gray-scale.

 SCANNING For Web and Printer
When you create an image, or change the size of an image in Photoshop, and in some other graphics editors, it asks you to enter the image size you want to create in pixels, but it also lists a number for "resolution." The resolution number is used during printing to control the output size.
The file size of the 200 dpi scan is not twice as big as the 100 dpi scan, it is 4 times larger as the graphic to the right will show.
A large image that is scanned at a high resolution creates a file size that is so large it will either print too slowly or may fail to print at all.

 Debunking the DPI myth: Why you can ignore dots per inch in photo editing and printing
It always changes the dot pattern of each photo it prints, so trying to match up DPI settings between your images and your printer doesn't help.
But telling Photoshop Elements to resample the image instructs the software to do much more than change the DPI setting.
Professionals who work with image-editing software day after day probably think I've lost my mind.

Let's take a simple example: If a scanner's resolution is 300x300 dpi, and that scanner is capable of scanning a letter-sized (8.5x11-inch) document, then the CCD has 2,550 sensors arranged in each horizontal row -- 8.5 (inches across) x 300 (x-direction sampling rate) = 2,550.
The number of elements in the CCD array (above) determines the x-direction resolution.

 Dots per inch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The number of pixels per inch in a computer display is sometimes specified in this way as well.
When someone asks for a "300 DPI image", they may be expecting an image with 300 pixels per inch of printed output; unless the size of the printed output is known beforehand, the measurement is meaningless.
A 10×10-pixel image on a computer display may require many more than 10×10 printer dots to accurately reproduce, due to limitations of available ink colors in the printer.

 DPI Or Dots Per Inch
The term DPI can also be used used to specify a printing device's native output resolution.
PPI stands for Pixels Per Inch and represents the number of pixels per linear inch on a photo print when a digital image's pixels are scaled onto paper.
A simple example would be an image with dimensions of 1200 pixels by 1800 pixels with an assigned print resolution of 300 PPI would print to 4 by 6 inches.

The higher-resolution image will look much better, but takes longer to transmit, occupies more storage space, and takes more processing power to display and edit.

Maximum resolution refers to the smallest dot that an output device can produce.
Using too high a resolution (pixels smaller than what the output device can produce) increases the file size and slows the printing of the image; furthermore, the device will be unable to print the image at the high resolution.
Because the monitor can display only 72 pixels per inch, it needs 2 inches to display the 144 pixels that make up one edge of the image.
