For starters, there is much confusion about what we mean by this term. Well, simply refers to the total number of pixels that has the photo. For example, a 12 Mega Pixels camera generates a file of, say, 4,000 pixels x 3,000 pixels = 12,000,000 pixels. The resolution of that photo (or more precisely, the file) is 12 million pixels.

But often you’ll hear someone who has asked you a picture (even an advertising agency!) Say that “I better with 72 points per inch . ” This information is useless.
