In pictures, the size of the pixels determines the resolution of the picture. Resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi) or centimetre. A picture is created at a specific resolution. You select the resolution based on how you will use the picture in your model. Too low a resolution will cause pixilation, or large pixels that cause a coarse relief, while too high a resolution add to picture's memory requirements without producing a significant increase in its overall finish.
To adjust the resolution of the model:
- Select
Model > Adjust Resolution or click

Adjust Model Resolution dialog is displayed. The resolution of the model is displayed in the

- Click OK to set the resolution of the model. A message dialog is displayed warning that you cannot undo any adjustment to the model resolution: click Yes to adjust the model resolution; click No to keep the current model resolution.
