resolution: 1x1 pixels/inch

[ronnie gauthier]

Ther are two answers I can think of. 
A CCD camera does some magig when it procersses a pic. The 1x1 might signify the
camera was set at "high-quality", this is used for noise reduction. A blue sky
would be a blue sky instead of a pixelated mass of blue with artifacts. This is
called binning.

The other is that graphics use a matrix to display blocks. The block size
depends on the matrix, 1x1,2x2,3x3,etc. A 1x1 has one solid color in the block
meaning that your block is one pixel, 2x2 has 4- the main pixel and three shades
,3x3 has 9 the main pixel and 8 up to shades. Again, a 1x1  would signify high
quality by not matching adjacent colors and toning. This is called half-tone
matrix.
