More about magnification
Graphic images can be magnified in two ways:
•
Proportionally
•
Anamorphically.
An image magnified proportionally looks the same as its original,
except that it is larger and has lower resolution. The image has
been magnified by the same amount in both the x- and y-
directions.
An image magnified anamorphically is larger in one direction—
either x or y.
Magnification and resolution
Magnifying an image decreases its resolution by an equal
amount. In other words, an image that has been doubled will
have half the normal resolution. Images in an unmagnified
window contain 300 pixels per inch. When the window contents
are doubled, the images have 150 pixels per inch and the dots
are doubled in size. Figure 2-21 illustrates the difference in
resolution.
