I'm sorry if us electronics types have confused you (and probably ourselves :-) Resolution in photographic terms means, as you say, ppi etc. Resolution also refers to the size of the steps in the "grey scale". An 8-bit gives 256 possible values - a resolution of 1/256. A 14-bit system gives 16384 possible values - a much finer resolution.
