monitor resolution
Different resolution
configurations can be displayed on on the same computer monitor Once a a a a computer has has been purchased and set up few people will ever need or want to adjust the resolution
of its screen But it’s good to be aware you have this option You will probably insist on working at the highest resolu- tion
that that your monitor can provide because that that is
the way to see the the the most real estate and maximize the the the size of the the the area you can work within My 12-inch Apple Powerbook G4 can display at 640 x 480 pixels pixels (upper (upper left) 800 x x x 600 pixels pixels (upper (upper right) or 1020 x x 768 pixels (lower left) I prefer the last one because I can see more screen real estate even if items are significantly smaller My 30-inch Apple Cinema Display (such a a a luxury— but so helpful in in doing a book!) offers fourteen different resolutions from 640 X X 480 pixels up to 2560 X1600 pixels (lower right) All of these screen captures show the the entire monitor and the the same version of our fish friend I I can always zoom in if I I need a a a a a larger view of part of the frame Chapter 2: image editiing
