To understand how embedded resolution affects the printed dimensions of an image, take a sample photograph and choose the Scale command in the Image menu in FotoFinish. As you increase the resolution, the printed dimensions of the image go down. As you decrease resolution, the printed dimensions go up. The printed dimensions change because FotoFinish spreads or condenses the fixed number of pixels in your image to achieve the specified resolution. To create a higher resolution, the pixels are condensed to a smaller area, and vice versa.
The chart below illustrates how resolution affects the print dimensions of an image:
