Unit 3: Graphics Editing
1. Adobe Illustrator (AI) - a vector image formator.
2. Bitmap - an image composed of pixels with a fixed resolution.
3. .bmp - an uncompressed bitmap file format that is very large and is not appropriate for the web.
4. Brightness - the measure of relative lightness or darkness of a color (measured as a percentage from 0% {black} to 100% {white}).
5. Compression - encoding data to take up less storage space and less bandwidth for transmission.
6. Feathering - special formatting style that blurs the edge of an image.
7. Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) - compressed bitmap file format (lossless) that supports only 256 colors and is appropriate for the web; supports transparency and animation.
8. Joint Photographer Experts Group (.jpg) - a compressed bitmap file format (lossy) that is preferred for photographs; supports 16 million colors and is appropriate for the web; does not support transparency or animation.
9. Layering - a feature that allows you to place one image on top of another and edit each independently.
10. Lossless - a compression formula that reduces the file size without data loss.
11. Lossy - a compression formula that reduces the file size by removing certain pixels.
12. Masking - hiding part of a layer so that you can manipulate only the visible parts of the layer.
13. Portable Network Graphics (.png) - compressed bitmap file format (lossless) similar to the .gif format; it is not limited to 256 colors, is appropriate for the web, and supports transparency.
14. Rasterize - converting vector objects in an image to raster (bitmap) content.
15. Red eye reduction - a photo editing technique to remove the red from the eye.
16. Shape - a design element that includes geometric, natural, or abstract shapes.
17. Special effects - the effect or impression used to produce materials that cannot be achieved by normal techniques.
18. Tagged Image File (.tif) - uncompressed bitmap file format that supports 16 million colors; supports transparency, file size is very large, and is not appropriate for the web.
19. Text - a multimedia element consisting of alphanumeric characters.
20. Transparency - a visual quality in which a distant image or element can be seen through a nearer one.
21. Unzip - decompressing a zipped file.
22. Vector - an image created by using a series of mathematically defined lines and curves rather than pixels, making the image easier to rescale; also called draw-type graphics.
23. Windows Metafile (.wmf) - Microsoft's vector file format; most Microsoft clip art are metafiles and can be edited.
24. Zip - compressing files to reduce file size.
