Types of Digital Image File

There are five different types of digital image files which are JNG( also known as JPEG), GIF, PNG, TIF( also known as TIFF), and RAW. The first file, JNG, stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group, which created this standard for this type of image formatting. JPEG files are images that have been compressed to store a lot of information in a small-size file. Most digital cameras store photos in JPEG format, because then you can take more photos on one camera card than you can with other formats. However, some of the image's detail because the file must be compressed to a small size. it is usually used for photographs on the web but are not the best option line drawings, logos, or graphics.

GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format and it compresses images like JNG but it is lossless because no detail in the image is lost. Also GIF cannot make images as small as JNG. GIF can be used for animations or web but is not suitable fro printing or photographs because of the limited color range.


PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and was made as an open format o replace GIF. It allows for a full range of color and better compression which is a reason why it is used exclusively for web images. For photographs, PNG is not as good as JPEG, because it creates a larger file. But for images with some text, or line art, it’s better.

TIF ( short for TIFF) stands for Tagged Image File Format and creates very large file sizes by being uncompressed and thus contain a lot of detail image data. some characteristics of TIF images are that they are very flexible in terms of color and content. Because TIF contain a lot of image data, it is a common file type used in photo software and page layout software.


The last digital image file type is RAW image files, which are called that because the images have not processed and therefore cannot be edited or printed yet. Raw files usually contain a vast amount of data that is uncompressed. Therefore, the size of a raw file is extremely large and usually they are converted to TIFF before editing and color-correcting.

Lab2: Editing Lancelot

Image
This is the second lab of this year and what we did was edit a picture of Lancelot using different adjustments. the main objective of this lab fro me was to experiment adjusting images in various ways so each one would have something unique about it but this lab has had something else in mind which was to teach us a new way to select an image which was to use edit in quick mask mode. the procedure of this lab was to first select Lancelot; however, we did not use edit in quick mask mode at first, we used whatever tool we wanted. the whole class soon realized how difficult it was to select Lancelot. then we learned about the magic of using edit in quick mask mode because we could then select most of Lancelot with ease without having the blue background ruining the image. After making sure that Lancelot was selected to the best of our abilities I had to make at least eight new layers using layer via copy but these Lancelots had to be smaller than the original Lancelot. this was done by sc

Project 3: Restore Old Photograph

Image
this project was the process of restoring a damaged photo only using the editing tools. the objective of this lab was to restore the photo to how it would be before all the damage; all the editing was to be done to the " best " of our ability. the way i completed the project was by using the various editing tools in photoshop such as the patch tool, spot healing brush tool, healing brush tool, content awareness tool, and clone stamp tool. By using these tools in various ways you can get rid of most of the damage done over time. The tool i used the most was the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool because in my opinion worked the most efficient. Of course it wasn't perfect, if used too much it would just blur the image so it had to be used with caution. To me this was a very useful even though it is very difficult to become acustom to. It is also relevant in Web Design because in nature or anything there will be a flaw and so to be able to correct the flaw i
