How resolution and colour depth affect file size and image quality?

Answer 1

Changing the image resolution will affect the file size of the image and the quality of the image.

Image resolution is measure in DPI, which is Dots Per Inch, this means that if you increase the resolution then the DPI will increase and the quality of the image will get better as a result as there are more pixels that make up the image, so the image will be more distinct and sharper.

When the image resolution is increased the image has more pixels, this is the exact opposite to the compression techniques, this means that the file will get a lot bigger as the number of pixels increases. Decreasing the resolution, however, will make the image quality lower but will reduce the file size.
