Print the image on a quality printer and it will look extremely detailed. Set the files for viewing at either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 (native render resolution) and again, the images look extremely detailed. Everyone does realize that if you look at any image close enough, you can begin to see the limitations of detail of any source. Even any kid with a magnifying glass who ever looked at a printed image in a magazine or newspaper knows this. |
This is an interesting point -- the images could be used for printing. However, you don't need to do 600ppi for larger images. 300ppi is more than sufficient. Heck, for very large images (>=20 inches wide) you can stretch to 200ppi because the viewer won't be nearly as close as if they were looking at a small image.
