It certainly can, depending on your microscope.  Changing your  
resolution can change your raster speed or your time/pixel.  Some  
instruments will attempt to auto-adjust the PMT voltages when you make  
a change.

The only way to find how big the effect might be would be to take  
sequential images at 256 and 512 resolutions (on a sample that won't  
photobleach during scans) and compare.
