Digital Camera Tech
This component captures light, similarly to film, and turns it into digital data.
What is an Image Sensor?
This classic composition rule divides an image into a 3x3 grid with four intersecting focus points.
What is the Rule of Thirds
This term describes the difference in tones between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.
What is contrast?
Lenses with a short focal length, typically ranging from 10mm to 35mm, go by this name.
What are Wide Angle Lenses?
Traditional darkroom techniques like dodging and burning map closest to the tools found in this Lightroom module.
What is the Masking module?
Digital cameras use this type of process rather than a chemical one to capture images quickly and efficiently.
What is an electronic process?
These types of lines direct the viewer’s attention to the main subject and add depth to an image.
What are are Leading lines
In an image, highlights represent the lighter areas, while this term represents the darker areas.
What are shadows?
These transparent pieces of glass or plastic attach to the front of a lens to alter or protect your image.
What are lens filters?
This specific masking slider allows you to adjust the brightness of just the lightest targeted areas within your selection.
What is the Highlights slider?
Digital image files store a massive amount of hidden data, such as camera settings and file size, known as this.
What is Metadata
This is the term for the empty or unoccupied area surrounding a photograph's main subject, used to create simplicity.
What is negative space?
True or False: Low contrast images feature a greater range of tones with strong, harsh differences between light and dark.
False
This specific type of lens filter is explicitly designed to reduce the overall amount of light entering the lens.
What is a Neutral Density (ND) filter?
To smoothly blend the edge of a brush mask into the rest of the image so it doesn't look harsh, you adjust this setting.
What is Feathering (or the Feather slider)?
The different wavelengths within the visible region are responsible for the different colors we see.
True or False
True
These specific lines run parallel to the horizon and convey a sense of calm and stability.
What are horizontal lines?
This tool is represented by a graph where the horizontal axis shows input tones and the vertical axis shows output tones.
What is the Point Curve?
This optical phenomenon occurs when light rays passing through the lens fail to converge at a single point, causing blurriness.
What is chromatic aberration? (Or lens aberration).
If you want to apply an edit to everything in your image except what you have currently masked, you would click this option.
What is Invert
In traditional darkroom chemistry, this is the specific process step that makes a developed image permanent.
What is fixing (or the Fixer)?
This specific type of leading line features slanting angles that inject a sense of action and energy.
What are diagonal lines?
Different colors in a scene can drastically affect the way these three neutral tones are perceived by the viewer.
What are whites, blacks, and grays?
This specific optical distortion causes straight lines to curve outward, resembling the sides of a wooden barrel.
What is barrel distortion?
This advanced masking feature uses AI to automatically detect the main focal point of your frame, separating it entirely from the background.
What is "Select Subject"?
