(see Web Formats at the end of this handout) When you save for web, you are not saving over the original file - you are creating a new file. Think about creating a folder with just your web files. Photoshop Elements Web Photo Gallery Once your files are edited and ready to go, the Web Photo Gallery dialog box will guide the process of placing and positioning images. You can choose different webpage layouts, background Photoshop Elements styles, transitions, and how you can share these files.

  • Understanding Image Formats and When to Use Them
    Understanding Image Formats And When to Use Them Are you familiar with the extensions after your images? There are so many image formats that it’s so easy to get confused! File extensions like .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, and more can be seen after an image’s file name. Most of us disregard it, thinking there is no significance regarding these image formats. These are all different and not cross‐ compatible. These image formats have their own pros and cons. They were created for specific, yet different purposes. What’s the difference, and when is each format appropriate to use? Every graphic you see online is an image file. Most everything you see printed on paper, plastic or a t‐shirt came from an image file. These files come in a variety of formats, and each is optimized for a specific use. Using the right type for the right job means your design will come out picture perfect and just how you intended. The wrong format could mean a bad print or a poor web image, a giant download or a missing graphic in an email Most image files fit into one of two general categories—raster files and vector files—and each category has its own specific uses. This breakdown isn’t perfect. For example, certain formats can actually contain elements of both types. But this is a good place to start when thinking about which format to use for your projects. Raster Images Raster images are made up of a set grid of dots called pixels where each pixel is assigned a color.

  • Supported File Formats for Images
    Supported File Formats for Images This topic provides short descriptions of the supported image formats. It also lists operations which can be carried out on each image format. Graphics Mill supports the following file formats: • BMP File Format • EPS File Format • GIF File Format • IDML File Format • JPEG File Format • PDF File Format • PNG File Format • PSD File Format • RAW File Format • SVG File Format • TARGA File Format • TIFF File Format • WebP File Format One of the main characteristics of an image format is the set of corresponding pixel formats. This defines a number of bits of memory associated with one pixel of data and an order of color components within a single pixel. The image formats listed above support one or several pixel formats. BMP File Format BMP (Bitmap Picture) is a standard bitmap image format used to store digital images on Microsoft Windows operating systems. BMP files range from monochrome (1 bit per pixel) to 32 bit color images. The BMP format can store both indexed and full-color images in various color depths, and optionally with data compression, and color profiles. MIME Type image/bmp File Extensions *.bmp, *.dib, *.rle Supported Format Features Name Description BmpSettings.Compression A compression type of BMP files. It can be either uncompressed for any allowed BMP file pixel formats, or use RLE compression for 4- bit and 8-bit bitmaps. EPS File Format EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a PostScript document used as a graphics file format. An EPS file may contain both raster and vector data descripted by the PostScript language.

Return to contents Digital Or Printed Images • Most photos are called continuous tone images as there is an illusion of constant transition of colour or shades of greys. • Pixel based images work the same way as each pixel can be coloured independently to create a smooth, continuous transition of colour. • Non digital printing also creates this illusion using half tone dots. These are rows of small dots that create the appearance of different colour or grey shades. Return to contents Resolution • Resolution: Refers to the unit of measurement to determine the following. • Image Resolution, the size of an image file in pixels, called pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI) • Monitor Resolution, the way an image is displayed on your monitor called dots per inch (DPI) • Output Device Resolution, the quality of a final printed image, measured as either dots per inch (DPI) or lines per inch (LPI).

  • Introduction to Graphics
    Introduction to Graphics What is a Graphic? A graphic is an image that is used to enhance the presentation of information (decorative) or support the content (educational). This course introduces you to the electronic world of manipulating graphics that are to be presented on a monitor e.g. Web pages, Word Documents or Desktop Publishing. The information will be useful to people who prepare images for the Multimedia or Web presentations, and the knowledge gained will assist you in preparation of images which are printed at a desktop printer. Printed v/s Screen presentation A graphic that is printed on paper has entirely different parameters to an image that will only ever be viewed on screen. Your eyes interpret an image on paper using reflected light, and on the screen using emitted light from the red, green and blue (RGB) light cannons in the back of your monitor. You will never be able to perfectly match a photograph in your hand with the image on the screen. Optimisation Graphic designers face an eternal struggle between image quality and file size. The challenge is to maintain the highest quality image whilst reducing its file size as much as possible. This struggle is referred to as Optimisation. Inserting Graphics using different methods into different Programs will vary the file size and quality enormously. For example inserting a picture (40k jpg photo) into Word will increase the file size by 12k. The same file inserted into Publisher will increase the size by 1.25m. When preparing images that are to be viewed via the Web, it is essential that you consider the transmission speed or download time of the graphic.
