CHAPTER 1
DIGITAL IMAGE
WHAT IS A picture in electronic form.
algorithm
WHAT IS An ordered set of instructions to process data in a certain way.
Rotating
WHAT IS Moving an object clockwise or counterclockwise around a center point.
rasterize
WHAT IS To convert type or vector artwork to pixels.
Highlights
WHAT IS The lightest areas of an image represented by pixels in the top third of the grayscale range.
PIXELS
WHAT IS The smallest component that makes up a digital image.
composite image
WHAT IS An image that brings together many different images to create one new image.
Flipping
WHAT IS Creating a mirror image of artwork by turning it horizontally or vertically.
gradient
WHAT IS A blend of two or more colors.
Shadows
WHAT IS Definition:The darkest areas of an image represented by pixels in the bottom third of the grayscale range.
IMAGE RESOLUTION
WHAT IS The number of pixels per inch in an image file.
composite image
WHAT IS An image that brings together many different images to create one new image.
transform
WHAT IS Change the shape, size, perspective, or rotation of an object or image.
kerning
WHAT IS Increasing or decreasing the space between two letters.
Contrast
WHAT IS The relationship between shadows and highlights of an image.
RESOLUTION
The number of pixels per square inch in a digital image.
opacity
WHAT IS Determines the percentage of transparency; the lower the opacity, the more transparent it is.
point of origin
WHAT IS The point from which a transformation occurs.
Tracking
WHAT IS Increasing or reducing the space between letters of a word.
Brightness
WHAT IS A pixel’s grayscale value. The higher the number, the brighter the pixel (the closer it is to white).
CAMERA RESOLUTION
WHAT IS The number of pixels per inch a camera can access to recreate an image.
bounding box
WHAT IS A rectangle that surrounds an image and contains eight handles to click and drag in order to change the dimensions of the artwork.
stroke
WHAT IS A basic artistic element that places an outline on an object.
Midtones
WHAT IS Sections of an image represented by pixels in the middle of the grayscale range.
