Number of pixels
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the image is going to
be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be
clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the fewer
pictures can be saved.
