·         Common graphic file formats handed out

·         File formats specific to programs

·         Filename.extension

·         TIFF  - tag image file format often nice of BITMAP and GRAYSCALE images

·         EPS – encapsulated post script files – to retain duotone it must be saved as EPS

·         GIF – Graphic interchange format

·         JPEG – Joint Photographic Experts Group it compress’ a file – throws away information

·         PNG – Portable networks graphic files lossless compression file

·         PDF – portable document format

·         PSD – photoshop document file

·         Exercise 5 – file types and sizes handed out

·         Continue to work through this and blog question 3

·         Question 3.

A) explain the differences in the sizes of the two tiff files in steps 1 and 2.

        One of the tiff files is compressed causing one to be smaller

        B) when saving a jpeg file what two things change when you select a different quality factor?

        The size of the file diminishes

        And the quality diminishes – pixels got larger as file type shrunk

        C) what is dithering and why is it used?

        Dithering is where you duplicate tonal gradation from the original where there are less colours to use

        D) explain the difference in size between the greyscale tiff file and the original tiff file.

        The greyscale version has less channels making it 1/3 smaller



Artifact – something in an image that wasn’t in the original

When a JPEG is over compressed it gets

Blocking

Artifacts

Loss of detail

·         Image histograms

·         Graph to show how many pixels there are for each brightness value





·         A histogram can be shown for each channel

·         There is never a generic histogram

·         High key/white/bright image – lots of pixels at the white end

·         Low key/black/dark image – lots of pixels at the black end

·         Low contast image – many pixels in the middle of the image

·         Other images





General adjustments

                Brightness

                Contrast

                Hue

                Saturation

                Levels

                Curves
