Understanding different types of formats as well as Vector and Raster Image

Jpg - compose of 16.8 million colors

Gif (Graphic interface Format) - can support colors upto 256 colors only  and can also support animation and transparency

Png - a high Resolution file that have heavy files can support up to 16.8millions of colors, Transparency and  Animation

Lossless - There is no lost in files  Higher reso. PSD and TIFF does not change or lost files
Lossy - suitable for emailing

PSD - High Resolution (Layered)
TIFF - Flat Image (Not Layered)

Movie Formats

Mp4 -
Avi - High Resolution
3gp - Use for mobiles
mov -
Mpeg
Flv
Mkv - High  resolution files (High Definition)
Etc.
Audio Formats

Mp3
wav
aac
ogg
midi
wma
Etc.

Baseline standard optimize

Progressive Jpeg - From pixelated image to the full image resolution Has the Psychological advantage for web

Raxels -> Pixels -> Bitmap


Vector - Resolution independent made up of lines ( if it is zoom t doe not pixelate)

 Every line is just point connected with an angle of a curve, a vector. that way you can scale them to the size of the line is just point connected with an angle of a curve, a vector. That way you can scale them to the size of the moon and you won't lose a single detail. if a curve is closed (both ends join) then you can fill it with a color.

Smart object - converts a pixel base ( have the behavior of the vector) refers to the original file but still raster
A Raster image is made up of pixels (little squares) with a numerical value for their color. all the squares are the same size and places in a grid pattern. Each one needs at least three numbers (for RGB) to calculate it's color (4 for cmyk and 1 number for 8 bit color like a gif)

Raster images cannot be scaled up in size because they will look pixelated when printed and files that are high enough resolution for the printing process are usually very large. we use these for photographs or completed files when we can output a raster image at exactly the size required fir printing.

as a vector any colors can be assigned to the curves, including rgb, cmyk and spot colors.

Color space

Understanding the concept

A wide range of colors can be created by the subtractive primary colors of pigment (cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K),.

1. Lab Color Space (CIELAB, LAB, L*A*B)   - Color space defined by the CIE, based on one channel for Luminance (lightness) (L) and two color channels (a and b). This color space is better suited to many digital image manipulations than the RGB space, which is typically used in image editing programs. For example, the Lab space is useful for sharpening images and the removing artifacts in JPEG images or in images from digital cameras and scanners.

ProPhoto RGB is just about the widest color space.  It's used by photographers.

As some noted authors and celebrities like to put it, "ProPhoto RGB is the only color space real men use".
 It contains many, many, MANY more colors than you can see on any monitor, it even encompasses what can only be termed "theoretical colors" because they're outside the visible color range in the physical world.



The Adobe RGB (1998) profile has been widely adopted as a working space because it provides a relatively large and balanced color gamut that can be easily repurposed for reproduction on a variety of devices.


sRGB - Smaller than Adobe RGB (1998)  it is used in websites

CMYK - K- is black meaning Kelvin , use in Printing 

Contrast - Contrast in size, color, shapes
Repetition - inuulit niya yung mga bagay sa isang page
Alignment - Alignment of a text
Proximity - Distance
