Let me get this straight PPI is pixels per inch right? So if i reduce my PPI the image becomes more pixelated or what? How can i get more resolution if i have a LOW resolution and a High PPI? I don’t understand. I know that a higher PPI means a higher pixel density but doesn’t that equals more pixels?!? thereforE a larger X Y Resolution, i don’t get it

If you have the same number of pixels but a larger value for PPI/DPI, the output image, ie print size or image pasted into a document, will be smaller. The DPI value doesnt change the resolution of the digital data itself.
For example a 1200 x 1200 pixel image with the DPI set to 600 will print out at 2″ x 2″ . The same image with no change to the pixels but the DPI now set to 300 will print out at 4″ x 4″ .
On the other hand, if you want a 4″ x 4″ image at 600 DPI print resolution you need a 2400 x 2400 pixel source image.
