Do you edit a file on your computer when you went to print, it was just a small image on the page? Ever wondered why Your mother-mail inbox refuses photos of your children?

If you're just getting started with digital scrapbooking, then this lesson short for you. It is simpler than you might think.

Digital Resolution

spots constitute a small image called pixels. The word "pixel" is a contraction of the words "picture" (or "pix") and "element" and is generally a small part of any digital image represented. People are easily confused pixel because the word gets subtle differences in meaning depending on the context in which it is used as the images in print or megapixels a digital camera.

To facilitate this discussion, just think of a pixel as a small point light or color represent a very small component of a much larger image.

People also talk about when referring to resolution pixels. Resolution is a measure of how many pixels fit into a certain space. You may have heard about "points for inch (DPI), or "pixels per inch (PPI) and the meaning of these terms adds to the confusion, because once again it depends on context in which the term is used.

Let's simplify by saying once again that the image resolution is an expression of how much detail an image holds.

Our TV, computer monitors, cell phones, and even digital cameras are full pixels - thousands of those who fill so close together that tricks the human brain into thinking these are small spots of an image smooth. These digital images appear almost everywhere we look in our technology filled world, from our PDAs to car dashboard our electronics giant posters on display along the highway, or Times Square in New York.

More pixels in a figure, the better the image looks. On the contrary, if the pixel count is very low, the image quality suffers. So you may be able to distinguish specific areas in a microwave screen, but print a digital photo looks as smooth as glass. A pixelated image results when the pixel count is so low, you can see the serrated edges.

Digital cameras have made photo sharing easier than ever. Have not developed the film and print multiple copies. Today, many people share their photos via email and social networking sites. However, before doing this image taken by camera is usually cut.

Digital cameras are built to duplicate the quality of film cameras and therefore capture images with a resolution of large pixel. Compare that to almost all home computer shows that have a low pixel count, generally under 100 pixels an inch. The emergence of high-resolution images in a lower device results in an image resolution that appears much greater than the computer screen. Digital cameras capture images with high resolution to make possible quality photographic prints. But sending this large image files by e-mail will receive megabytes of data and more e-mail users will reject it.

Digital Photo Editing

The solution is to resample the image, which is geek speak for changing the resolution. Reduce the number of pixels will make the image look normal on a computer monitor. And this will allow mom-mail with pictures of family on the last of your holidays last. But after Resampling of the image, do not think you will get a quality print long as you have received from so many pixels.

Guiding Principle seems simple now. Images intended for printing should be a high resolution, but the images displayed in a computer screen need only a low resolution.

If you plan to do both, make a copy your original digital image to play around. Besides allowing for both printing and viewing images correctly, it is also a suggested backup plan for all digital images.

Now you are ready to take more digital pictures and be able to print and share them without further trouble.
