And there is no blending within that one dot... it's simply one of the colors or left the white or the paper color. One might think that an image should be scanned at 600 dpi to provide and equal quality, but really you can scan at a much reduced resolution and get the same results with a basic inkjet color printer, because the scan will most often be done at 16.7 million colors.. the printer only has 4(+paper color) so it really takes a 4x4 dot area or so to start to get close to matching a single pixel. Now, lets don't even go there on printers. The above is greatly understated and was how old inkjets worked.. much has changed and I really haven't followed exactly what they are doing now, but obviously it seems that there is a blending over top of other colors in today's printers.

You will be given a print size of 4 x 2. The image will take up 600 x 300 pixels of your monitor screen space. Now with that same image, change only the resolution to 300. Leave the pixel dimensions the same (one has to be careful with the locking of proportions and samplings to be sure the program doesn't change the pixel dimensions when changing the Pixel/Inch). You will now see that the print size is 2 x 1, but yet the image size on the screen has not changed sizes. A pixel is a pixel to a monitor. A pixel is sent thru an algorithm on the way to a printer and by and large, print quality has to be much greater than monitor quality to 'look' as good. Basically, you can't get a 4 wide image on the screen to look as good when printed at 4 wide. A general guideline is images for print should be no less than 150 ppi, newspaper quality, and 300 to 600 is recommended for color brochures and near photo quality. So, using our example above and assuming the printing company has requested 300 ppi images, that image at 600 x 300 which fills a major portion of one's monitor screen, can only be printed under this constraint at a maximum of 2 inches x 1 inch. If you're going to print, check with the printer before beginning as print quality is generally rising at all levels. The question of throwing away all images with 72dpi is irrelevant. The questions are: What resolution, pixels per inch, do you want to print at? Lets assume 300. What size are the images in pixels? Lets assume 1200 x 900. (I know, odd size but easy math to follow) Are you happy with printing these images at 4 inches x 3 inches? ((1200 pixels / 300 pixels per inch = 4 inches) x (900 pixels / 300 pixels per inch = 3 inches)) If yes, keep the image. If you started with an 8 x 10, scanning at 72dpi and are happy with 150ppi, you can get a good print out at 4 x 5. If you want 300ppi, then 2 x 2.5 inches.. and so on. Also, if working in .jpg filetypes, there is normally a quality setting in the paint program. If you're going to print, set it to the highest. If to the web, medium to medium high is generally not a noticeable difference. My testing showed that these settings affect the number

[PHP] How does one obtain the resolution of an image in PHP?
Good morning, folks. Can any one direct me to a snippet or suggest an approach to obtaining the resolution of an image [file] with PHP. exif_read_data() is great if the image was taken with a camera that is exif compliant, but is no help with my scanned images. getimagesize() gives me height and width - not much help that I can see. I want ppi! I've no doubt that this is another case where the answer is painfully obvious and my mind to dull, but I've spent the better part of the day searching usenet groups and the PHP docs and come up with naught. I'm running the current Cent OS distribution of EL, PHP Version 4.3.9 with, of course, GD support. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks again for taking the time. Simon Yes, but that's a different question. On one hand, you have an image that can be presented in numerous resolutions. On the other hand, how was the image first obtained? Some images contain that information, but it's defined by the device that captured the image, for example: http://www.exif.org/samples.html In that data set is a host of other information, such as shutter-speed, flash, focal-length, camera make, model, and such.

Thanks again, Tedd. I've checked out the links but still no luck. As I stated (Or implied.) in my first post, I have played with exif_read_data() but it is of little use with the scanned images I've examined. You can see results of my experiments with exif_read_data() and getimagesize() at: http://www.campden-main.com/~orchids/test/test_exif.php You'll note that if I simply divide the dimensions in pixels by the dimensions in inches, I'll get the resolution in PPI. Perhaps the solution to my problem lies in simply finding a way to obtain the dimensions in inches (As either exif_read_data() or getimagesize() will give me the dimensions in pixels.) and just do the math.

If you don't believe me, use your paint program, change the PPI of an image and notice how the image doesn't change size on the screen. Also, do this and switch the image size display back and forth between inches and pixels.. the pixel count doesn't change, only the inches change.. but again... that's the printing world and has nothing to do with display on a monitor or webbrowser. So, an image 10,000pixels by 10,000pixels will be huge on screen. If set to a resolution of 1000ppi, the image would be printed at 10 x 10, but you still can't view the whole image on a monitor without zooming out. If resolution we set to 10,000dpi, the image would print as 1 x 1, but you still wouldn't be able to view it on a monitor (unless you have an awesome multi-display setup that can reach 10,000 pixels wide and tall).

Obviously, at least up to the limits of the printer being used, a high PPI setting produces a higher quality 'printed' image. This really depends on how big the image is to be printed. Besides, an image/photo taken using a digital camera (at least mine) always defaults to 72ppi. BUT that does not mean that it will come out badly printed at 300 dpi -- it all depends on how big is the size (setting) of the picture when I first took it. If you don't believe me, use your paint program, change the PPI of an image and notice how the image doesn't change size on the screen. Also, do this and switch the image size display back and forth between inches and pixels.. the pixel count doesn't change, only the inches change.. but again... that's the printing world and has nothing to do with display on a monitor or webbrowser.
