You may want to plan a little for the future; not only may technology improve to
demand more resolution from images to make the best prints, but your needs may change
and additional resolution may leave you with a little leeway to take advantage of future
changes. Use resolution to your advantage, rather than just assuming it is correct. So, can
you have too much resolution? Yes, but usually only in applying the images (in print and
on the Web). Traditionally, the push has been toward more resolution and greater defini-
tion. However, with newer consumer digital cameras capturing larger images, understand-
ing how to apply and use image resolution becomes more important. Get what you can
for archiving and storing images, but target that resolution to output and display sizes as
needed.
