Resolution.
New Years is the iconic time to talk about Resolutions. New Year. New chances. Rekindled Hopes. A chance to make our lives clean and crisp and higher quality. Kinda like processing photos in photography! But wait, that’s actually a horse of an entirely different color….but hey, let’s take a look at this!
In photography, image resolution is described as “PPI,” or pixels per inch. This is the measurement of how many pixels are displayed per inch of an image. If you have a higher resolution, then you have a higher PPI. This results in more pixel information and creates a high-quality, crisp image with lots of detail.
Conversely, if you have lower resolution, then you have lower PPI and fewer pixels. So when you “blow up” that image, those pixels become too large and the pixels become visible like in this image (it becomes “pixelated”):

Smart phone images typically have a lower resolution. They may look pretty snappy and sharp on that smaller screen, but when you start enlarging them or try to make a 24” x 36” print off that image, most likely you will be disappointed in the quality of the image and it will become blurry and unclear with reduced sharpness or detail.
So, the best thing to do is to make sure you’re capturing images at the highest-quality settings available on your camera (or phone).
When you change the resolution of an image, you are saying how many pixels you want within each inch of the image. For example, an image that has a resolution of 600 ppi will contain 600 pixels within each inch of the image. 600 is a lot of pixels to live in just one inch, which is why 600 ppi images will look very crisp and detailed, even when enlarged. Now, compare that to an image with 72 ppi, which has a lot fewer pixels per inch. As you've probably guessed, it won't look nearly as sharp as the 600 ppi image.
So your New Year’s Resolution Rule of Thumb? Always try and capture the image at the largest resolution/quality that you can. That way you have more information rather than not enough within that image, and it’s much easier for image editing applications, like Lightroom or Photoshop, to discard any unwanted image information (reducing the size of an image) than it is to create new pixel information (enlarge an image).
