Image Adjustment
Output Size and Resolution
The Size/Resolution palette is where you specify the fi nal (“output”) size of the portion of
the image that will be saved when Save as… is selected from the File menu. The choice of
settings in the Size/Resolution palette depends on how you intend to use the image and the
amount of storage space you have available. Some examples are given below.
If the image will be used in printing or desktop publishing…
…size and resolution will be dictated by the resolution of the output device and the physical
size of the image when printed, measured in centimeters or points rather than pixels.
If you intend to use the image on a web page…
…specify output size in pixels, keeping fi le size to a minimum for rapid downloads. Res o -
lu tion in this case is not an issue.

RAW Image Size (D1X Only)
The D1x is designed to record images at 3,008 × 1,960 pixels (six megapixels). Image quality will not
necessarily increase when RAW images are output at a size of 4,016 × 2,616 pixels (ten megapixels,
equivalent to the dimensions of the CCD).
NEF Images
When an image is saved in NEF format, the entire image will be saved together with information on
resolution and the size and dimensions of the current crop.
