High-resolution

Showing or capturing fine detail through a large number of distinguishable data points.

Reach for it when describing image or measurement detail with an appropriate technical specification

High-resolution scans revealed pencil notes beneath the faded ink.

• everyday

  detailed

  visible information matters more than technical pixel count

  not when Detailed can describe rich content even when image resolution is low.

• everyday

  sharp

  edges and focus appear crisp

  not when Sharpness can come from processing and does not equal high resolution.

• warm

  clear

  readers only need to know that details are easy to see

  not when A clear image may be low-resolution but well composed and in focus.

• professional

  high-definition

  a recognized video or display format is intended

  not when High-definition names particular format ranges and is not a synonym in every imaging field.

• professional

  precise

  measurement repeatability or exactness matters

  not when Precision and resolution are different properties; one does not establish the other.

• formal

  fine-grained

  small distinctions in data or analysis are preserved

  not when Fine-grained is metaphorical outside materials and does not specify image resolution.

• low-resolution
• pixelated
• coarse

• high-resolution image

  The high-resolution image records every crack before conservation begins.

• high-resolution scan

  A high-resolution scan preserves the map's smallest labels.
