HA1 Task 1 - Technical Glossary

VECTOR IMAGES
Vector image is made up of lines and paths formed by mathematical equations, these mathematical can consist of anything; square, triangle or a curvy line.
Vector images can be scaled to any size and not lose any of its existing quality, this is good for company who are looking to advertise on a big scale by using bill boards.

These are two vector images that can be scaled to any size, the left being some-ones creation and the right being popular logos of brands
I have created a vector image in illustrator when doing unit 78 mock assignment



















RASTER IMAGES
raster images are pictured that are taken from a camera and ten transfered into computers, raster images are usally bigger then vectors and always pixeated
file type: BMP,TIFF,GIF,JPEG


THE PIXEL
Short for picture element.
Small dots that use colours that blend together to make your picture, either on your tv,LCD or any piece of equipment that can project an image.
4-Bit
8-Bit
16-Bit
24- Bit
32-Bit
In a digital file, the number of colours for an image; calculated as 2 to the power of the bit depth; for example, a bit depth of 8 supports up to 256 colours, and a bit depth of 24 supports up to 16 million colours.


COLOUR DEPTH
the number of exact colours that can be shown in a certain piece of software sometimes shown or said as bit depth,

a bit depth of 8 supports up to 256 colors, and a bit depth of 24 supports up to 16 million colors.


COLOUR MODELS
RGB, CMYK and HSB these are the modles used genrally its RGB but when printing its CMYK because of the bit depth and there is more presicion



RESOLUTION

In computers, resolution is the number of pixels contained on a computer screen /display . The sharpness of the image on a display depends on the resolution and the size of the monitor. The same pixel resolution will be sharper on a smaller monitor and gradually lose sharpness on larger monitors because the same number of pixels are being spread out over a larger number of inches.


ANTI-ALIASING
is basically getting rid of any jagged lines to ake them look sharp and look better and make te lines appear smooth




ASPECT RATIO
the width and height of a file image,

 A motion picture's aspect ratio often appears on the back of the DVD or video box. An example would be 1.85:1. This means that the size of the original theatrical presentation of that film is 1.85 times as wide as it is high.


FILE FORMATS -  bmp, png, gif, tiff, jpg, psd, pdf, eps and ai
BMP-The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file
PNG-is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.
GIF-The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colours chosen from the 24-bit RGB colour space.
TIFF- is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry and photographers.
PSD-Photoshop document file extension( portable storage device)
EPS-files are more-or-less self-contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing and can be placed within another PostScript document.
AI- Adobe Illustrator

COMPRESSION
is when you use a zip folder to delete un wanted information/data so this is compressed and so it can be moved easier and transferred







IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICES
Camera, or any portable device that can capture an image


OPTIMISING

to make it this best it can be in quality or anything like connection or speed.



STORAGE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

The term storage management encompasses the technologies and processes organizations use to maximize or improve the performance of their data storage resources.
