In essence, you can “touch” dots, but you can only “see” pixels (for example, when rendered electronically on a monitor).

PIXELS
LCD monitors display pictures in millions of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. A pixel on a monitor is a single point in a graphic image. The pixels are placed close together so that they appear connected.

One full pixel actually is a combination of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel (”RGB” = Red, Green Blue). Programs such as PhotoShop describe images in terms of pixel dimensions.

DOTS
DPI (Dots per Inch) has nothing to do with your image file. DPI refers to how many drops of ink per square inch are used on paper to print an image. BUT, the sizes available for creating a HIGH QUALITY print are completely dependent on the size of the digital file that you create. Known as output resolution, optimum results for printing process require anywhere from 200 PPI to 300 PPI.

Print Quality and Pixel Dimensions
PPI does not affect the print size of an image; it affects the print QUALITY at a particular size. A 240~360 ppi scan = High quality 1200~2880+ dpi print. For example, a 300ppi scan @ 4″ would produce a high quality 4″ print - but the same high resolution file would produce a low quality 16″ print.

We need to assure that our licensee clients are able to create high quality products from our art. That is why we require professionally made high-resolution files at the dimensions of the original artwork.

About Lee Peterson

Lee says it best in his own words: "Although I have been taking photographs most of my life my goal has never altered. My vision of life is a dream and I can use photography to reveal those dreams. My photographic translations can last for years and never seem to be finished. They seem to evolve as I progress…

 He continues, "My photography can be categorized into many styles; street photography and abstract concepts, travel, nature, commercial and advertising, also highly technical styles where custom lenses or set-ups are required. I love the diversity because I am always learning from new adventures. I like to climb the mountain of creativity. I learned from my father that some mistakes are worth repeating and not to be afraid of trying. It is the process of learning and progress that inspires me the most…

I see the world in visual metaphors and moods and through the use of photography record the happiness, sadness, abstraction and concreteness of the world we live on as it hurls in orbit around a star in space.

Peace on Earth or the Earth in little pieces."
