Image Sizes and File Formats - Myths, Legends and the Truth Answering the question “How big is this image?” sounds like it should be simple. However, this is not the case. With digital images, “size” means a number of different things and this leads to very widespread confusion. In turn, photographers may be uncertain about resizing images, which, if approached wrongly, can very adversely affect the quality of a picture. In a recent photographic competition, sponsored by a reputable photographic company, was a rule: "All submissions must be at least 4000px on the longest edge, have a minimum resolution of 300dpi”. As this is completely meaningless, the widespread confusion is illustrated. This talk aims to eliminate that confusion by looking, step by step, at what is meant by “size”. All the basics of digital image dimensional adjustments are covered. No technical knowledge is assumed, as the discussion starts from first principles. At the end, in addition to illustrating how this understanding leads to higher quality and better presented images, possibilities for some more creative techniques are also demonstrated.
