For photo books, it is also the optimum resolution but a somewhat lower pixel count (250 dpi) is acceptable for great-looking photographs.

A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image and is a tiny square or rectangle that contains a specific amount of digital information, representing a specific colour or brightness level. Some people choose to work in pixels as it can help when looking at the quality and clarity of images. And since a small canvas can't be used for many things after finishing, you want to be able to make a larger finished painting. Remember! Ifyou're working with a lot of complex imagery, you or your designer may be presented with working in pixels. If you need help converting the dimensions from mm's, the A3 pixel size and A4 pixel size as well as many others can be found in the table at the top of this blog. A smaller canvas means your software will run smoother. The issues of a canvas size too small come after finishing the painting; either in viewing or printing the image at full size.
