Digital Imagingor Digital Image Digital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of digital images, typically from a physical scene. The term is often assumed to imply or include the processing, compression, storage, printing, and display of such images. bitmap In computer graphics, a bitmap or pixmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of bits. Now, along with pixmap, it commonly refers to the similar concept of a spatially mapped array of pixels. Raster images in general may be referred to as bitmaps or pixmaps, whether synthetic or photographic, in files or in memory. raster graphics In computer graphics, a raster graphics image or bitmap is a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats In digital imaging, a pixel (or picture element[1]) is a single point in a raster image. how do you make a pixel? when a digital image is captured: (scanner, camera, etc) the device 'samples' the image by dividing the image area into a grid of even units next it measures/estimates the color & contrast in each of the cells in this grid. this is referred to as sampling. these samples are what we call pixels vector images In computer graphics, a raster graphics image or bitmap is a data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels, or points of color, viewable via a monitor, paper, or other display medium. Raster images are stored in image files with varying formats vector images I won’t be doing much with vector graphics in this course, but we do stray into it occasionally File Formats It is very important that file extensions, or suffixes, remain intact. The extension assists the computer operating system. It tells the system the type of file and the application to use when opening the file. This is especially important when bringing a file from one operating system to another (such as going from a Mac to a PC). -Burroughs and Mandiberg, Digital Foundations OTHER Non-Graphics you probably already know! .doc or .docx - Microsoft Word document .rtf - Rich Text Format, non-proprietary word processing format .txt - Text only, no formatting graphics .ai - Adobe Illustrator file .eps Encapsulated PostScript - exported Illustrator file .psd - Photoshop document .fla - Flash master file .swf - Shock Wave Format - exported Flash file for the web .html - HyperText Markup Language - a text file written in the language used to create web pages. graphics .pdf - Portable Document Format usually *noneditable publishing format, can have password permissions set to protect who edits .tif or .tiff - Tagged Image File - format for photographs, saved with lossless compression and used for scanning and printing. .jpg or .jpeg - Joint Photographic Experts Group - a compressed image file format often used for photographs on the web .gif - Graphic Interchange Format - a compressed image file format often used on the web for logos, design elements, and other graphics with low numbers of colors. .png -Portable Network Graphics graphics .pdf Portable Document Format (PDF) is a generic computer term.[citation needed] The best-known PDF implementation is Adobe PDF, a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. graphics .tiff or .tif Tagged Image File Format (abbreviated TIFF) is a file format for storing images, including photographs and line art. It is as of 2009 under the control of Adobe Systems TIFF is a flexible, adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file, by including the header tags (size, definition, image-data arrangement, applied image compression) The ability to store image data in a lossless format makes a TIFF file a useful image archive, because, unlike standard JPEG files, a TIFF file using lossless compression (or none) may be edited and re-saved without losing image quality. Of course this is not the case when using the TIFF as a container holding compressed JPEG. Other TIFF options are layers and pages. graphics .jpg or .jpeg say: jay-peg Joint Photographic Experts Group #lossy compression for photographic images. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality. #JPEG is not as well suited for line drawings and other textual or iconic graphics, where the sharp contrasts between adjacent pixels cause noticeable artifacts. graphics .gif sometimes pronounced jif (Thomas loves to annoy you with his pronunciation) lossless compression, supports 256 levels of color # GIFs are suitable for sharp-edged line art (such as logos) with a limited number of colors. favors flat areas of uniform color with well defined edges (in contrast to JPEG, which favors smooth gradients and softer images). # GIFs can be used for small animations and low- resolution film clips. (but there have been advances checkout: cinemagraphs) # In view of the general limitation on the GIF image palette to 256 colors, it is not usually used as a format for digital photography. graphics .gif graphics .png Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) as an image-file format not requiring a patent license. It is pronounced /ˈpɪŋ/ [1] or spelled out as P-N-G. The PNG acronym is optionally recursive, unofficially standing for “PNG's Not GIF”.[2] PNG supports palette-based (palettes of 24-bit RGB colors), greyscale, RGB, or RGBA images. PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not professional graphics, and so does not support other color spaces (such as CMYK). # The PNG format is a popular alternative to GIF images since it uses better compression techniques and does not have a limit of 256 colors, but PNGs do not support animations. The MNG and APNG formats, both derived from PNG, support animations graphics .png graphics raw A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, or motion picture film scanner, or other image scanner.

  • Exploring the .BMP File Format
    Exploring the .BMP File Format Don Lancaster Synergetics, Box 809, Thatcher, AZ 85552 copyright c2003 as GuruGram #14 http://www.tinaja.com [email protected] (928) 428-4073 The .BMP image standard is used by Windows and elsewhere to represent graphics images in any of several different display and compression options. The .BMP advantages are that each pixel is usually independently available for any alteration or modification. And that repeated use does not normally degrade the image. Because lossy compression is not used. Its main disadvantage is that file sizes are usually horrendous compared to JPEG, fractal, GIF, or other lossy compression schemes. A comparison of popular image standards can be found here. I’ve long been using the .BMP format for my eBay and my other phototography, scanning, and post processing. I firmly believe that… All photography, scanning, and all image post-processing should always be done using .BMP or a similar non-lossy format. Only after all post-processing is complete should JPEG or another compressed distribution format be chosen. Some current examples of my .BMP work now do include the IMAGIMAG.PDF post-processing tutorial, the Bitmap Typewriterthat generates fully anti-aliased small fonts, the Aerial Photo Combiner, and similar utilities and tutorials found on our Fonts & Images, PostScript, and on our Acrobat library pages. A few projects of current interest involving .BMP files include true view camera swings and tilts for a digital camera, distortion correction, dodging & burning, preventing white punchthrough on knockouts, and emphasis vignetting. Mainly applied to uncompressed RGBX 24-bit color .BMP 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.

    GRAPHIC FILE PREPARATION FOR LETTERPRESS PRINTING ©2016, Smart Set, Inc. COMMON GRAPHIC FILE FORMATS Vector Formats .ai (Adobe Illustrator) Native Illustrator file format. Best format for importing into Adobe InDesign. Illustrators’s native code is pdf, so saving files in .ai contains the portability of pdf files, but retaining all the editing capabilities of Illustrator. (AI files must be opened in the version of Illustrator that they were created in (or higher). .pdf (Adobe Portable Document Format) A vector format which embeds font and raster graphics within a self-con- tained document that can be viewed and printed (but not edited) in Adobe’s Reader freeware. All pre-press systems are in the process of transitioning from PostScript workflows to PDF workflows. Because of the ability to em- bed all associated fonts and graphics, pdf documents can be generated from most graphics software packages and can be utilized cross-platform and without having all versions of different software packages. Many large printers will now only accept pdf files for output. .eps (Encapsulated PostScript) Before Adobe created the pdf format, PostScript allowed files to be created in a device-independent format, eps files printed on a 300 dpi laser printer came out 300 dpi, the same file printed to an imagesetter would come out at 2540 dpi. PostScript files are straight code files, an Encapsulated PostScript includes a 72 dpi raster preview so that you can see what you’re working with in a layout program such as Quark XPress or InDesign.

  • Image Formats
    Image Formats Ioannis Rekleitis Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF • Exif • JPEG 2000 • BMP • GIF • WebP • PNG • HDR raster formats • TIFF • HEIF • PPM, PGM, PBM, • BAT and PNM • BPG CSCE 590: Introduction to Image Processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats 2 Many different file formats • JPEG/JFIF (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression method; JPEG- compressed images are usually stored in the JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format) >ile format. The JPEG/JFIF >ilename extension is JPG or JPEG. Nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG/JFIF format, which supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue). JPEG applies lossy compression to images, which can result in a signi>icant reduction of the >ile size. Applications can determine the degree of compression to apply, and the amount of compression affects the visual quality of the result. When not too great, the compression does not noticeably affect or detract from the image's quality, but JPEG iles suffer generational degradation when repeatedly edited and saved. (JPEG also provides lossless image storage, but the lossless version is not widely supported.) • JPEG 2000 is a compression standard enabling both lossless and lossy storage. The compression methods used are different from the ones in standard JFIF/JPEG; they improve quality and compression ratios, but also require more computational power to process. JPEG 2000 also adds features that are missing in JPEG. It is not nearly as common as JPEG, but it is used currently in professional movie editing and distribution (some digital cinemas, for example, use JPEG 2000 for individual movie frames).

  • About Graphics/Digital Images
    About Graphics/Digital Images Digital images are found in lots of file formats (types) that are used for various reasons. I liken the file formats to flavors of ice-cream, which you might or might not choose to consume on any given day. One day chocolate is more important than mint; another day you might use vanilla, and on another day you might decide to combine more than one flavor in the same bowl. Likewise, you might choose one type of graphic file for a particular project, but it might be completely inappropriate for another project. What works well for display purposes (keeping it on the computer, or for publication to the internet) might not print well. Something that prints well might be too big a file to post to the internet, or may make your program run too slowly. Also, some authoring programs (like Boardmaker or Classroom Suite) might be written to only understand certain types of image files. Some file types are more common than others, and are more likely to be recognized by the “parent” program (the one you use to display, edit or print your image). Whatever type you pick ultimately depends on how you plan to use the image. The more technical definitions provided below are taken from the glossary found at http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/glossary.php?letter=B The additional comments I have added, and hopefully let you know why you would care about any of this, anyway. The two biggest types of images I describe here fall loosely into two categories: vector images and bitmap images.

  • LO1: Investigating Digital Graphics
    Name: Freya Ellis Candidate Number: 5068 Centre Number: 29335 Series: June 2019 R082 – Creating a Digital Graphic LO1: Investigating Digital Graphics Purpose of digital graphic: A digital graphic is an electronic image that can be used for a variety of different things, however the image does not always have to be used on electronic devices as it can be printed and used. Some examples of a digital graphic are magazines, posters, logos etc.. My poster will include images and pictures of popular films to create an eye catching poster that will gather the audience the client wants. The images wont be of just any movies but a wide range as this is an all inclusive film festival for people of all ages. The poster will be very high quality print using 600ppi. It will also have a .tiff image format because it is a high quality print, a big file size and has a lossless compression. With our digital graphic we must make it appealing to everybody because it is a family movie festival, so thus we need to combine the demographics of adults, teenagers and small children. This make it difficult as all of these demographics are very different and so we have to make it eye catching for younger audience but also very informative for an older audience, as well as not looking too childish as to attract teenagers. The graphic I’m going to create will be not only eye catching but also informative and show the true atmosphere that the festival will have, this means it will be simplistic yet interesting easy to read yet informative as I feel this will feel my client needs the best.
