High resolution imaging is something which people overlook the importance of, for all the wrong reasons. The concept of images and the quality of them are often overlooked because people are simply not educated about how exactly such computer images are formed. Few people realize, for example, that most of the popular image formats in which photographs and graphics are saved are not lossless files. JPGs and GIFs do not expand without compromising on image quality. Because of this ignorance about how the images people view every day on their computer, there is a false belief that people can blow up and enlarge images to epic proportions without suffering any problems with blurriness or pixellation. That is simply not true. Low pixel quality is just about passable on the internet and on screens in small sizes. However, the second that such pictures get enlarged - to go in magazines, on calendars or simply to be printed to go into a photo album - problems begin to occur. There are unsightly blemishes on the pictures, called artefacts, which become problematic. They can obscure faces, buildings, and generally make what were probably perfect photographs on screen appear to be severely troubled. Sadly, this sort of thing is unavoidable for as long as people continue to take poor quality images. Amateur photographers have not yet woken up to the fact that in order to create a good end product, they need to provide decent source material. This needs to be of passable quality at least. It is akin to preparing a meal. The likelihood of the taste of this meal surpassing anything other than average expectations is unlikely if people are using foul tasting ingredients. They need to be of a suitable quality going into the oven in order to produce something coming out which is seen as tasty. If a meal is made of things which many people find unpalatable, even the best chefs are unlikely to be able to produce something which delights the senses. So the same goes with photographs and graphics. Low resolution imaging is likely to produce low quality results when printed out or increased in size at all. It is simply not feasible for people to presume that a poor quality photograph with a low pixel count can be enlarged to grotesque proportions to fit on a banner, for example, without something going awry. Rather, those people need to try and make sure that they can get images in as high resolutions as possible so that the flexibility of the image is increased. After all, high resolution in vivo imaging gives a product which can be tampered with more easily. It can be increased and decreased in size without problems, and can be used in a variety of applications. It can be printed, placed on screen or transferred to clothing, banners and even mugs and other objects. When taking into consideration that someone is recording family memories which will hopefully be treasured for decades to come, it seems like a no brainer to pluck for a better quality image.
