  • 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.

The dates mean that he was able to make and show films 16 years before the Lumiere Brothers used the more commercially successful cinematograph to popularise the art form. • The dozen films are only a few seconds long and were commissioned to illustrate Victorian experiments in animal and human motion. Instead of using celluloid passed across a lens for a fraction of a second, Muybridge spaced out still cameras triggered by tripwires broken when the animals ran along, then projected the resulting sequence. 4 Video cameras • Analog video/movie cameras: – Mechanical devices that captured images on moving film (multiple photographs per second on a continuous film) Movie Camera 35mm Mitchell Film Original, circa 1940s 5 Video cameras • Digital video/movie cameras: – Just like still image cameras – Take multiple shots automatically at a fixed rate per second – The rate is decided based on persistence of vision – Usually 30 photos/second 6 Video cameras • What happens to the sound? – Sound is recorded alongside and time synchronized with the photo frames https://zaxcom.com/the-hobbit-a-production-sound- perspective/ 7 What happens to the sound? shotgun microphones - boom mics for movies • Each film created its own set of challenges, but Johnson and his two boom operators, Corrin Ellingford and Steven Harris, consistently took the time to wire all the actors each day.

  • 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).
