kuvatarkkuutta

Kuvatarkkuutta, often translated as image resolution, refers to the level of detail in a digital image. It is primarily determined by the number of pixels that make up the image. More pixels generally mean a sharper, more detailed image, while fewer pixels result in a coarser appearance.

The resolution of an image is typically expressed in terms of its width and height in pixels, for example, 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. This is often abbreviated as 1080p, a common resolution for high-definition displays. A higher number of pixels, such as in a 4K or 8K image, allows for greater detail to be perceived, especially when viewed on larger screens or when magnified.

In photography, digital cameras have sensors with a specific pixel count, which directly impacts the maximum resolution of the images they capture. Similarly, displays like monitors and televisions have a native resolution, indicating the number of pixels they can physically render. When an image's resolution does not match the display's native resolution, the image may be scaled, which can sometimes lead to a loss of sharpness.

The term kuvatarkkuutta can also relate to the concept of sharpness in an image, which is influenced not only by pixel count but also by factors such as focus, lens quality, and image processing. Therefore, while resolution is a key component, it is not the sole determinant of an image's perceived clarity or detail.
