__PICTURE QUALITY AND SIZE__

The quality of a digital image depends in part on the number of pixels used to create the image (sometimes referred to as resolution). At a given size, more pixels add detail and sharpen edges. However, there are always size limits. When you enlarge any digital image enough, the pixels begin to show—an effect called pixelization. //Source: [|Steve Webster, iBizware Solutions, India.] //
