I have an image 600 x 600 pixels at 100 pixels/inch (ppi) resolution. The print size of this image is 6 x 6 inches. I have few questions about resolution. I am a bit confused.
1.) When I increase the resolution from 100 ppi to 300 ppi, the pixel dimensions change to 1800 x 1800 pixels but the print dimension remains same at 6 x 6 inches. Similarly if I decrease the resolution from 100 ppi to 72 ppi, again the pixel dimensions gets decreased but the print dimensions remain same at 6 x 6 inches. Why is this? If I change 100 ppi to 300 ppi, does my image print with a better quality?
2.) How do I increase the print dimension of my image from 6 x 6 inches? I want to print it say 12 x 12 or even more? Is it possible to do it without compromising the quality of the image? When I change the print dimension from 6 x 6 inches to 12 x 12 inches, the pixel dimension also increases. So I was wondering it’s extrapolating the additional pixel which might reduce the quality in the final print. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!!
