When I scan a photo at a higher resolution, the size of the image increases. Why is that? Intuitively, it seems the image size should remain the same but with a "denser" representation. Could anyone recommend an introductory discussion of resolution which would touch on image file contents and size, software and hardware constraints and perhaps even human vision aspects? Is there a reference similar to Edward Tufte's books on the display of quantitative information - but for bitmapped images? Many thanks.
