is this a trick question? :) Not sure what you're asking here.

I think Elizibeth wants to know the dimensions of 1280 x 1024 images, etc. Well, that one is 1280 pixels wide, and 1024 pixels high. And so on for the others.

If she wants the answer in, say, inches, then it depends on the number of pixels per inch. If you are printing then on a printer with 300 pixels per inch, then 1280 / 300 = 4.3 inches. And so on.

Umm, does that help?

Is that size in inches on monitor or printed size???

My guess is that you're asking how large an image with a resolution of a certain amount can be printed? As was said above, this depends on the number of pixels you print per inch. I can live with printing as few as 128 pixels(not dots!) per inch on an Epson Color Stylus printer which yields about an 8x10" picture from a 1024x1280 resolution image file, but it's a matter of taste. Some people maintain that 1600x1200 is necessary for 8x10"'s, but I think they're "gilding the lily", a bit. I imagine figuring 200PPI would work out to a very nice image, but you can probably get away with 3/4 of that or less. It's really dependant on the output device and media. How it looks to you is the best answer.

If this is the wrong type of answer, please restate the question and we'll all take another swing at it. :-)

I have printed a 1280x960 digital image as an 8x10 at 200 dpi, and it looks great. I would recommend reading the article on printing in the Tips and FAQ section of this website. http://www.imaging-resource.com/TIPS/PRINT1/PRINT1A.HTM
