Study Notes
Color Processing
- Color processing includes capturing, modifying, and displaying colors in digital media.
- Color processing is applied in photography, videography, gaming, UI/UX design, and visual effects.
Color Models and Representation
- Common color models include RGB (Red, Green, Blue).
- Another common color model is CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black).
- HSV/HSL (Hue, Saturation, Value/Lightness) is also common model.
- The last common color model is LAB Color Space.
Color Correction & Enhancement
- White balance is one technique used for color correction and Enhancement.
- Brightness & contrast adjustment is used to modify images.
- Gamma correction is also used.
- HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technique used for processing.
- Colors are stored and processed using Color Depth (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit).
- Chroma subsampling (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0) handles color information.
- Image compression formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
Manipulation & Effects
- Color grading is a manipulation effect.
- Filters & LUTs(Lookup Tables) are manipulation effects.
- Color keying (Chroma Key/Green Screen) is a manipulation effect.
Color Display & Consistency
- HColor Gamut (sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and Rec. 709, Rec. 2020) impacts color display and consistency.
- Color calibration is important for consistency.
- ICC profiles are also used for color display and consistency.
Different File Formats
- Image file formats include .JPEG, .PNG, .GIF, and .TIFF.
- Document file formats are .PDF, .DOCX, and .TXT.
- Audio file formats are .MP3, .WAV, and .AAC.
- Video file formats include .MP4,.AVI and .MKV.
Compression Options
- Compression is important for reducing file sizes in digital media while maintaining quality.
Types of Compression
- Lossless compression is one type maintaining quality/size.
- Lossy compression is another type sacrificing some quality for higher compression.
Compression Options by Media Type
- For image compression, lossless options include PNG, TIFF, and BMP.
- For image compression, lossy options include JPEG, WebP, and HEIF.
- For video compression, lossless options include ProRes (HQ), FFVI&H.265 Lossless.
- For video compression, lossy options include H.264(AVC), H.265 (HEVC), VP9,and AVI.
- For audio compression, lossless file formats include FLAC, ALAC and WAV.
- For audio compression, lossy file formats are MP3, AAC and Ogg Vorbis.
Print Effects & Filters
- Print effects refer to special treatments to enhance the appearance and texture of printed materials.
- Filters in digital media have adjustments used to modify images, colors, and styles creatively or functionally.
Common Print Effects
- Embossing is a raised texture effect for designs to stand out.
- Debossing creates a pressed-in texture for engraved look.
- Foil stamping uses metallic or glossy film to add a premium feel.
- Spot UV coating applies a glossy finish to add shine and depth.
- Die cutting custom cuts printed materials into unique shapes.
- Letterpress printing is a technique leaving an impression on thick paper.
Popular Digital Filters in Media
- Color correction filters adjust brightness, contrast, and color balance.
- Vintage & Sepia filters add an aged effect to images.
- Black & White (Monochrome) removes colors for a timeless feel.
- HDR(High Dynamic Range) enhances details in shadows and highlights.
- Blur & Soft Focus adds motion blur and depth of field.
Save and Export Finalizing Design for Presentation
- "Save" refers to storing work in its original format and allows for editing.
- "Export" is converting your design into a final format and ensures compatibility.
Things to Consider for Save and Export
- Choosing the right file format is an important thing to consider.
- Also consider file resolution and quality when saving and exporting.
- File organization, export settings, and ensuring compatibility are also important.
Color Separation
- Color separation separates the image into different colored layers before printing.
Types of Color Separation
- A type of color separation is process color separation
- Another type is spot color separation
- Simulated process is another type of color separation
- Index color separation is another type of color separation
Screen Frequency
- Screen frequency refers to the number of lines, or rows, of halftone dots in one linear inch (LPI)
Traps
- A "trap" refers to the area of overlap between two colors caused by one color over another.
Types of Traps are Spreads and Chokes
- Spreads: Spreading enlarges it. (object overlaps background)
- Chokes: Choking Reduces The Size of an Underlying Image (background overlaps object)
OverPrints
- Overprint is printing of colors directly over each other which results in a different color.
Final Approved Design Proof
- A final design proof is a digital representation of your custom product that shows what it will look like with your finalized design.
- Parts may include Front page, Final Design Preview, Design Specifications and Approval Details.
