Digital Image resolutions

This article was very thorough. I felt like i learned a lot that i thought i already knew about. I did not know that there was such a discrepancy in the definition of dpi. I had always thought that dpi and resolution were the same thing. I now know that it is more complicated than that. Dpi can refer to dots printed, or dots projected and depending on which you are referring to will mean something different. Also, i did not know the difference between scaling and resampling. This is a valuable piece of information to know if you wanted to print out large professional quality images.
I think that it's really funny that something that I have delt with so much was so much more complicated than i knew. I will defiantly be able to approach photo editing with a clearer understanding of what i am doing to the actual image, and what kind of image quality i can expect from scaling or resampling. This was the most interesting to me in the article.
This is especially useful knowledge to me because over my winter break i was in China, and i took over 1000 photos between Beijing, Shanghai, and Lijiang. I am not very experienced in image editing so this is especially relevant to me. I am planning on creating a photo journal of my travels and having the highest image quality is important for my presentation and my portfolio.
