Question
Dear sir / madame, can you pls expalin to me the differents
between image size and resolution. Also what is it means to
resample an image.

thank you respectfully in advance.

Answer
hey there,

Image size, is the size of your image.

resolution is how many dots, pretty much, that are in your picture.  For example if you have a 72 dpi picture, that means your resolution is 72 dots per inch.  The bigger your resolution, the better you picture is for print.

72 dpi is good for web
300 dpi is good for print

resampling means that you are taking your image and changing the dpi, or the size of the picture.
