resolution is 1 thing... 10MP is another. just ignore the resolution, it doesn't matter...
10MP @ 72dpi is still 10MP
10MP @ 300dpi is still 10MP, they are different matter

DPI only affects prints.

I think after everything, you still can't see the difference between pixel count (10MP) and resolution (72DPI)...

Quote:
What is the difference between pixel count resolution and embedded resolution?
Embedded resolution tells your printer how far apart to spread the pixels in a printed image. It determines how "fine grained" the printed image will look. It is completely independent of the pixel count of the image. A high-pixel-count image can have a low embedded resolution or vice versa. Embedded resolution is inversely proportional to the size of the printed image. Given the same pixel count, a high embedded resolution will result in a smaller printed image (the pixels are packed together more tightly), and a low embedded resolution will result in a larger image (the pixels are more spread out).

Embedded resolution, however, does not affect the size (in bytes) of your image or its appearance on a computer screen. Those properties are are determined solely by the pixel count. The byte-size of the image file is directly proportional to the pixel count, as is its size on your computer screen, which simply displays all the pixels in the image in a fixed one-to-one grid.
