Pixel
Did you know the term “pixel” is actually short for “Picture Element?” I had no idea until I took a digital imaging of library and archival materials class and thought I’d share.
Some common facts to remember with pixels and your digital imaging:
1) the number of pixels per inch differs upon your resolution
2) the more pixles per inch, the more detail your image may have but it will expand the file size
Know any other facts about pixels? Just comment below.
