Study Notes
High Resolution
- Higher resolutions increase pixels per inch (PPI), resulting in more pixel information and sharper images.
Aspect Ratio
- Aspect ratio reflects the width-to-height ratio of an image or screen.
- Common ratios include:
- 16:9: Standard widescreen ratio, used in HD (1280x720), Full HD (1920x1080), and 4K (3840x2160).
- 4:3: Traditional ratio for older TVs and monitors, seen in 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions.
- 21:9: Ultra-wide ratio ideal for cinematic experiences and gaming, found in 2560x1080 and 3440x1440 resolutions.
Frame
- In computing, a frame is a rectangular area designed for graphics and text.
- In animation, frames are successive images that create the perception of motion.
Frame Buffer
- A frame buffer temporarily stores images being rendered prior to display, crucial for computer graphics performance.
Types of Resolution
- HD (High Definition): Includes resolutions like 1280x720 (720p) and 1920x1080 (1080p).
- Quad HD (QHD): Associated with 2560x1440 pixels.
- 4K Ultra HD: Resolutions include 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 pixels.
- 8K Ultra HD: Features an impressive 7680x4320 pixels.
Web Resolution
- Web resolution focuses on the appropriate pixel dimensions of images for online display rather than their physical size.
- Common pixel dimensions include 800x600, 1024x768, and 1920x1080 pixels.
File Formats
- JPEG, PNG, GIF: Widely used file formats due to compression and features like transparency and animation support.
Responsive Design
- Web designers employ CSS media queries or HTML attributes for image scaling across devices.
- Higher resolution images ("2x" or "3x") are utilized for Retina and High-DPI displays to maintain sharpness.
