2.01 UNDERSTAND DIGITAL RASTER GRAPHICS


Aspect Ratio

 Aspect Ratio is the relationship of an object’s width to its


height.
 Knowledge of required aspect ratios can assure proper proportions
when creating new files, cropping, or making selections.
 Maintaining aspect ratio while modifying an objects size ensures
the object is not distorted.
 Use shift when resizing with a corner handle.

 Check constrain proportions when changing the image size.


Cropping

 Cutting out part of an image


 Original image retains same file size
 Cut image can be saved as new object

Student Created
Layers

 Compiling multiple pictures or objects together into


one image
 Layers can be turned on or off
 Elements can be colored, layered, and resized individually
Selections

 Selections – identifying a specific area of a layer or image


that allows you to move or apply techniques to only that
specific area on that specific layer.
 Transparency - removing the background color of a raster
image making it “see-through” in order to allow the image
to blend in with its background.
Transforming

 Transforming – changing a graphics size or dimensions


through commands such as scaling and rotating.
 Scaling – enlarging or shrinking a graphic.
 Rotating – pivoting an object around its center point.
Layer Styles

 Layer Styles – One or more effects applied to a layer or


layer group. Effects include shadows, stroke, glows, bevels,
and overlays.
Layer Masks

 Layer Masks – A non-destructive method which allows you


to apply transparency to a specific portion of a layer with
precise control.
Fills and Gradients

 Fill - putting a color, gradient, pattern, or texture


into an object or area.
 Gradient – filling an object with a smooth transition
from one color to another.
 Examples
 Dark blue, gradually becoming white
 Red fading to orange.
Adjustment Layers

 Adjustment Layers – Non-destructive layers that can


be added to allow you to apply image tonal and color
adjustments.
Filters

 Used to apply special effects to an image that would


be too difficult to create manually.
 Examples of use:
 A weaving pattern
 Liquefying
Cloning

 Cloning - samples and area of an image and then


allows you to paint over another area of the image
with the sampled area. Examples of use:
 Remove blemishes on a model’s skin
 Brush up text on a scanned image
Blend Modes

 Blend Modes – change the way layers interact by


determining how a layer will blend with the layers below it.
