Windows 10: Maximum Resolution on Windows 10 Camera App?

Hi,I am running Windows 10 on a desktop PC and have a 24" monitor with a pixel display of 1920x1080. I was also a corporate photo librarian for 32 years and know the importance of taking photos with maximum resolution e.g., 300 ppi.I need to know the resolution limits of the camera app native to Windows 10. My guess is that 1920x1080 is the maximum as dictated by my monitor. I am also aware that using a desktop camera app is different from using a full-fledged digital camera, or even a cell-phone camera.What are my options for higher resolution? I don't need a professional camera, or ev

:)

 

camera app that supports taking picture at fixed resolution

I am looking for a camera app that allows me to set the maximum resolution of the pictures being taken. The stock windows 10 camera app always takes a picture at the maximum resolution of the camera (3264x1836) so the resulting files are large. I have to take the pictures and upload them to a website for long term storage but they limit the maximum file size to 4Mb. A large number of the pictures I take are much larger than that. I want the camera app to either automatically shrink the resolution of the picture after it is taken or allow me to set a fixed resolution like 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or 1400x900. I have a surface pro 4 running windows 10 1803. It just updated to 1803 while I have been working on this problem. The stock camera app updated to version 2018.227.30.1000 and doesn't have this functionality either.
