Opinions on the matter of how film compares to digital with image resolution is all over the place - but one thing is typically a constant throughout this entire topic - equating megapixels to resolution and using megapixels as a benchmark to define what medium offers more resolution over the other. The resolution of film, according to Dall-E 3 First things first, we need to understand what resolution actually means - and what it doesn't. Megapixels don't matter.
