Think about printable media (not just images for the screen). There are many printers that can print at different densities in the horizontal and vertical direction (e.g. 720 x 1440 dpi or 1440 x 2880) as there highest dot density. So if you were trying to work precisly, pixel-for- pixel, you might want to set the resolutions appropriately.
