Prophoto rgb and 72 ppi

Hi
I have a subscription to the Photography plan of Photoshop and Lightroom, I have several questions about Photoshop:
In the recent period with the upgrade of Photoshop to AI, a small bar began to appear at the bottom of the screen that says Generative Expand/Fill, and every so often I also get a message to try the new tool, I wanted to know if this tool is included in the basic plan I subscribe to or if it is an additional charge (after 1 month free trial I guess)?
Besides that, I edit images for a website and when I open a new edit page I enter parameters for that project. I usually work on a ppi 72 resolution, is there a preference to work on ppi 250 for example so that the image is sharper, or is the resolution I'm working in sufficient for the quality of images for a website?
Another parameter I work with is the prophoto rgb, and I try to have all the projects I edit on the same parameter. Does the quality of the image I'm editing matter if the parameter will be different, like adobe 1998 or another parameter that appears with a lot of numbers and letters?
Thank you for your answer

The small toolbar that you are seeing is the Contextual Task Bar. It changes depending on what you have selected, such as shapes or text. Learn more about it here:

Generative Fill is included with your Photography plan, but note that it requires credits.

For clarity, trials are 7 days and not 30.

ProPhoto is a dangerous color space that will quickly get you into trouble if you don't know how to handle it. It is not for beginners! Stay in sRGB until you get more experience. That's much safer.

 

Pixels per inch, ppi, does not apply to web and screen viewing in general. On screen, it doesn't matter what ppi you set.

 

Pixels per inch is a formula for translating pixels into a physical size where that is needed. It is needed for printing, and it is also needed for calculating font sizes (because a point is a physical size unit, 1/72 inch).

 

The file is just pixels, so many pixels high by so many pixels wide.  An image file doesn't have a physical size measurement, until you give it one by assigning a ppi number. High ppi number = small print size. Low ppi number = large print size. Same file.

 

Ppi means exactly what it says: how many pixels to an inch of paper.

Blimey Dag.  That was not only very nicely explained, but done so in a super friendly way.  Had you been chilling on a glass or two of Aquavit when you wrote that?

Not there yet, Trevor - it's early morning in this part of the world. Just coffee 🙂
