I've been asking around about commissions on e621 and Twitter, and when I mention the dimensions of the image that I want (7680x3840) a good 65% of them have been like "huh? What does that mean?".

Resolution is the dimensions of a digital image in pixels. The higher the resolution, the more detail one can put into an image.

For example, after I explained it to NapalmExpress he was all like "hur durr I don't think my computer can handle that." My potato laptop from 2009 can handle 4K image editing just fine, so I don't see what the issue is.

Is this even more common than I thought? Do people just not bother to learn how the digital art they create is affected?
