  2. They look the same because you haven't zoomed in on the photo. A high resolution photo has denser pixels (closer together) and a low resolution photo has less denser pixels.

    1. Additionally, the software a computer monitor generally supports ppi (pixels per inch) instead of dpi (dots per inch)

  4. The computer gives detail to the image and once it prints it doesn't.

  7. They look the same when you are zoomed out completely, but if you zoom in you can see the quality better, also, high res pictures look better printed than low res ones

  8. because the computer shows ppi so it has a "cap" of resolution

  9. Because the monitor only has a certain number of pixels that it can use to display the image.

  10. The computer monitor can only show photos to its max capability, so if the computers monitor is 1500x1300 a photo that is 1550x1400 wont look any worse or different than a photo that is 1600x2000.

  15. They look the same because the screen doesn't change and print resolution is usually much larger than screen resolution, that large resolution makes the picture look pixelated -skylar

  16. the look the same because the computer displays them the same, but if you zoom in on the picture the quality is easy to pinpoint which picture is high resolution and which one is low resolution.

  17. because you cant see all the detail but if you were to print or zoom in you could tell what it was. ellie

  18. They look the same because you haven't zoomed in. Once you zoom in on the photo it is easier to see the difference in pixel density

  19. the computer try's to fix the photo with low resolution by adding pixels so it looks the same as high resolution, on the monitor.
