Tutorial: More on JPG Resolution

For display on a computer screen, adjust the Dimensions settings using this formula:

desired output size (in inches) x 96 pixels per inch

For example, if you needed an image that was 5 inches wide at 96 pixels per inch, you would set the Width to 480. If you keep the Maintain Aspect Ratio box checked, the Height will be updated automatically.

 

For high resolution print output, adjust the Dimensions settings using this formula:

desired output size (in inches) x desired output resolution (in pixels per inch)

For example, if you were to need an image that is 5 inches wide at 300 pixels per inch, you would set the Width to 1500. If you keep the Maintain Aspect Ratio box checked, the Height will be updated automatically.
