IMAGING
FUNDAMENTALS
Robert Robles
DIGITAL IMAGING
- encompasses all the creative process
that use computers to create them.
- all kinds of digital imaging using a
computer.

examples: digital photography, digital


painting, photo manipulations, etc.
CATEGORIES OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS

1. VECTOR GRAPHICS – computer generated


drawings composed of lines & bezier
curves (vector data).

vector data – are simply mathematical


instructions that need to be converted into
bitmap in order to be displayed in the
monitor and printed on paper.

2. BITMAP/RASTER IMAGES – are made-up


of rows and columns of pixels.
- the image is organized as rows of
horizontal pixel and displays it line by line.
PIXEL – a discrete unit that has a location and
a value. Also called a square pixel.

anti-alias – a method of averaging or


softening of transition from one color
area to another.
- smoothing out jagged lines.

BIT DEPTH (pixel depth, bit resolution, color


depth) – color information that defines the
color tone of the bitmap image.

color information - refers to the number of


potential color choices.
BIT DEPTH TABLE
1 bit 2 colors ( black & white )
2 bit 4 colors
3 bit 8 colors
4 bit 16 colors
5 bit 32 colors
6 bit 64 colors
7 bit 128 colors
8 bit 256 colors ( grayscale )
16 bit 32,768 colors (
thousands )
24 bit 16,777,256 colors (
millions )
RESOLUTION
- Number of pixels per inch ( PPI ) that are
displayed in an image.

PIXELIZATION
- Grainy photo/image where grains become
obvious because of extensive enlargement of the
photograph.

DIMENSION
- Measurement of an image in pixel, height
and width
- Horizontal and Vertical measurement

e.g. 72 PPI image ---- 5,184 pixels in a square


inch
1” x 1” image ---- 5, 184 pixel 72 PPI
COLOR MODES:

1. Black and White ( Bitmap )


2. Grayscale ( 8 Bit ) 256 shades of gray
3. RGB – Red, Green & Blue
4. CMYK – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black
5. LAB
- Luminance, a.– colors ranging from
green to magenta
b. – blue to yellow
HSB ( Hue, Saturation, Brightness )

HUE – is the dominant wavelenght chosen


from the visible spectrum such as red,
orange, violet ( colors of rainbow). The
units for hue range from 0 to 360 degrees.

SATURATION – (or Chroma ) is the strenght or


purity of color. This refers to the amount of
white in the color. A saturation of 0% is
white, while a saturation of 100% contains
no white and results in a pure pigment.

BRIGHTNESS – is the amount of black in a


color. A color with 0 brightness is solid
black.
