Size Matters!



  • How to measure an image size?

  • PIXELS are the fundamental unit, not inches or cm!

  • The more pixels in an image, the larger (in Megabytes) the file size

  • Bigger images take longer to load in a web page.

  • Compression can help, but is "lossy" (you lose detail) [[Gimp demo]]
