LESSON 1: BASICS OF IMAGE EDITING
Image Editing – the process of altering images
Traditional Analog Image Editing- known as photo- retouching, using tools such
as an airbrush to modify photographs w/ any traditional art medium
Graphic Software Program- can be broadly, grouped into vector, graphics editor,
raster graphics editos, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user
manipulate, enhance, transform images.
**
Vertor- can be change
Raster- just a picture. Can’t be edit/ change
Photoshop Document (.psd).A.pst- a file format which photoshop saves
document by fault
Layers- single transparent sheets which hold particular piecer of an image
Selections- regions in image that will be affected by the various tools
Image size- resolution should not be confused w/image size, which is also
expressed in pixels
Colormode- types of colors you will be using in your image CMYK & RGB are the
most important of these modes to be familiar with
Images- versatile, come in variety of formates and deliver context, in formation
and emotion that alone, struggle to convey
Newspapers- used dramatic images to tell their stories. Image if the hook that
draws the reader’s eye to read the words.
- break up text, brightens the page and sets the mood for the article. Website use
photos in the same way, to catch the readers before they navigate away from a
page, to draw them on to the reading content
Begginer’s need to learn:
1. Cropping
2. Resizing & Compression
3. Correcting
4. Sharpening/ Softening
Cropping- make a huge different to it’s impace. When you cut out distracting
background, the subject of your photo stands out better.
Rule of thirds- divides the image into thirds, horizontally and vertically and then
aligns the subject w/ one of the intersecting lines
Resizing & Compression- resizing & compression to the optinum size for the use
you intend it for
Size= actually height and width that your image will be displayed as
Resolution= no.of dots per inch (dpi) that appear your images in final form
Correcting- generalized corrections
- this might be because the light that was not consitent w/ the white balance
setting on the camera
Sharpening or Softening- last of the global connections that are often applied to
digital images
-digital sensors
Raster Image- stored in computer in the form of a grid of picture elements, or
pixels. These pixels contain the images color and brightness information
Vector graphics software, are used to create and modify vector images, which
are stored as descriptions of lines, and text instead of pixels
-it is easier to rasterize a vector image, than to vectorize a raster image
Automatic Image Enhancement- correct color hue and brightness imbalances as
well as other image editing feature, such as red eye removal
Digital Date Compression- used to reduce file size and save storage space
-may take place in the camrea, or can be done in computer w/ the image editor
Screen Resolution- close to 72 pixels per inch
-preffered resolution:
Images= 300
Printing= 150
-the typical monitor is set to display somewhere around 800x600 pixels. Means
that 1” by 1” 600 dpi image would fill up most of the screen
Layering- whenever you add text to an image in photoshop, the text appears on a
new layer
-often times, when you find yourself frostrated w/ photoshop, it is because you
are trying to perform operations on a layer that is not currently selecter
- you can “merge down” layers to consolidate them, and “flatten image” to force
the entire contents of the image onto ONE LAYER
~Software provides many image editing features for raster (pixel- based) images
as well as vector graphics
~Uses a layer- based editing system that enables images creation and altering
with multiple overlays that support transparency
~Can act as masks or filters, altering underlying colors
~Actions include automatian features to reduce the need for repetitive tasks
~An option known as Photoshop CC( Creating cloud) allows users to work an
content from any computer
~Been the industry standard image manipulation program for so long that is name
has become a verb. It is common parlence to say that an image has been
“photoshopped” or even just “shopped”. Shopped in this context, is synonymous
with edited, manipulated, or faked.
~Used by photographers, graphic designers, video game artists, advertising, and
meme designers
~An image editing tool is NOT a designed tool
~Typical task include treating and manipulation, compositing, converting to
different formates, printings, etc.
Photoshop Compatibility- photoshop tends to work well w/ other applications.
Photoshop formats into programs such as Macromedia Fireworks, Coral Draw,
etc.
