Study Notes
Digital Imaging
- Digital imaging captures, stores, and processes images using electronic devices.
- Digital imaging has replaced traditional analog film photography.
- Digital imaging uses pixels to create images.
Understanding Pixel
- Pixels are the smallest units of a digital image.
- Pixels determine the resolution of an image.
- Higher pixel density results in a sharper image.
Understanding Image Resolution
- Image resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image.
- Higher resolution means more detail and allows for larger prints.
- Resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi) or dots per inch (dpi).
- Resolution affects the maximum print size without pixelation.
Image Resolution: Key Facts
- A 7-megapixel camera can capture an image larger than a 2-megapixel camera.
- An image with 3072 pixels wide and 2304 pixels high has 7,077,888 pixels (7 megapixels).
- Increasing the sampling frequency can create sharper resolution.
Bit Depth and Image Color
- Bit depth determines the number of colors an image can display.
- More bits per pixel (bpp) result in more available colors and more accurate images.
- An image with a bit depth of 8 has 256 colors (28 = 256).
- Grayscale images with a bit depth of 8 have 256 possible gray values.
Dynamic Range
- Dynamic range refers to the contrast between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.
- It influences the number of shades produced in an image.
- Dynamic range is proportional to the image's pixel dimensions.
File Size
- File size depends on the image's resolution, bit depth, and compression.
- Larger files mean more data is stored.
- Images for the web generally have smaller file sizes.
- Images for print typically have larger file sizes due to higher resolution.
File Formats
- File formats determine how a computer reads and interprets images.
- Different file formats vary in color capabilities, bit-depth, resolution, compression, and metadata.
Image Compression
- Compression reduces image file size for storage and transmission.
- Compression can be lossy (some data is lost) or lossless (data is preserved).
- Common file formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
