Key Terms and Definitions
Cropping
Cropping an image effectively can already
make a huge difference to its impact. When
you cut out distracting background, or a
clutter of irrelevant objects around, the
subject of your photo stands out better.

When cropping, keep in mind a basic rule of


composition: the rule of thirds.
Resizing and Compression
When you have cropped and edited your
image, so you have it looking just the way
you like, the next stage is to resize and
compress it to the optimum size for the use
you intend it for.

Size refers to the actual height and width


that your image will be displayed as, but
resolution is just as important.
Resolution
Resolution refers to the number
of dots per inch (dpi) that appear
in your images final form. For
print these really may just be
dots. On screen, however, these
dots are referred to as pixels.
Resolution
An image with high
resolution (one produced
for print, for example) will
look very smooth and will
show virtually no pixilation.
An image with low
resolution (one produced
for the screen—particularly
the web) may look far more
pixelated.
Image Size
Image size deals with the actual
number of pixels tall and wide an
image is. For an idea of how the two
differ, go to Image Size in the Image
menu, and plug in different numbers
for image size and resolution.
Photoshop Document (.psd)
A .psd file is the file format in which
Photoshop saves documents by
default. It is a multi-layer document
that retains its full editing options
when saved. In many cases, you will
export web graphics from a .psd
document file format.
Layers
Layers in Photoshop allow you to
work non-destructively by
stacking images on top of other
images without interacting and
mixing the pixels of images

• CMYK is the setting for
images that will be
printed to paper. The
letters refer to the four
channels of color used to
create every color
available: cyan, magenta,
yellow and black.

• RGB refers to the three-


channel color mode
suitable for images to be
viewed on the web: red,
green and blue.
