What is resolution in a camera or scanner file?
Digital cameras are rated by the number of pixels they will record in one image file, typically in the range of two to six megapixels, and much higher for professional cameras. Scanners are rated by the number of dots per inch that they will record, so the file size depends on the size of the object scanned. A high quality color picture file can have five million pixels or more, but the printer limits the number of pixels to what it can print in the space it is given.
