+ Digital images comprise of a grid of square elements of varying
+ colors, called pixels. Each image has a pixel size, such as 900
+ pixels wide by 600 pixels high. But pixels don't have a set size in
+ physical space. To set up an image for printing, we use a value
+ called resolution, defined as the ratio between an image's size in
+ pixels and its physical size (usually in inches) when it is printed
+ on paper. Most file formats (but not all) can save this value, which
+ is expressed as ppi — pixels per inch. When printing a file,
+ the resolution value determines the size the image will have on
+ paper, and as a result, the physical size of the pixels. The same
+ 900x600 pixel image may be printed as a small 3x2" card with barely
+ noticeable pixels — or as a large poster with large, chunky
+ pixels. Images imported from cameras and mobile devices tend to
+ have a resolution value attached to the file. The value is usually
+ 72 or 96ppi. It is important to realize that this value is arbitrary
+ and was chosen for historic reasons. You can always change the
+ resolution value inside <acronym>GIMP</acronym> — this has no
+ effect on the actual image pixels. Furthermore, for uses such as
+ displaying images on line, on mobile devices, television or video
