Digital imaging

Task A

Card reader – once we take JPEG or RAW images on our camera you can find the Sd card in a part of the
camera, – usually next to the batteries – take it out and insert it into a laptop or computer at the card reader
or through a USB extension tool. Then you can transfer it to a hard drive or memory stick or any other
external file. You can also store them on the computer itself but that isn’t recommended unless through
Lightroom.

Film – film has to be processed and fixed with the proper tools in a dark room. This can create three types of
film depending on what type you have, black and white negative, colour negative, and colour positive film.
Once it’s been processed in the dark room it can be scanned into a computer to create digital copies.

Scanners – there is more than one type of scanner, there’s film scanners, flatbed scanners, and rum scanners.
Scanners operate by shining light through or at the film or print. The light is usually directed through a series of
mirrors and a lens onto a photo sensor. Most scanners create an image using a TIFF format but flatbed
scanners create a JPEG file.

Task B

RAW – a RAW image is higher quality because it isn’t compressed, that means that they’re good for larger
images like billboards but because of this, they take up a lot of space and memory.

TIFF – TIFF is an adaptable file format for handling images and data within a single file.

JPEG – JPEG files are compressed files that can be used for social media, they don’t take up too much memory
and is the main file type used in digital cameras. Because of the compression, they are of lower quality and if
they are copied and pasted too much they will become much lower quality.

Task C

Couldn’t find 30 images but I got a few.

First go onto the existing library on Lightroom.


Add a new folder.

Check all the images you want to import and click import after changing the settings to what you want.

Check your external drive to find the folder and images you imported there. Now you can go into Lightroom
and find the folder there too.

Task D

Exported two of the same images in different formats.
