THREE CLASSIFICATIONS OF DIGITAL FILE FORMARTS
- Uncompressed or raw format
- Lossless File Format
- Lossy File Format
is usually used for storing original file format, it is a flexible but needs bigger memory to store.
Uncompressed or raw format
is a file format that was
compressed to replicate the original quality but at a reduced file size.
Lossless File Format
is a file format that was compressed as an approximation of the original file but is good
enough.
Lossy File Format
Are means of storing and organizing digital images, photos and illustrations.
IMAGE FILE FORMATS
IMAGE FILE FORMATS CLASSIFICATIONS
RASTER IMAGE FILES
VECTOR IMAGE FILES
are constructed by a series of pixels, or individual blocks, to form an image. JPEG, GIF, and PNG are all raster image extensions
RASTER IMAGES
are far more flexible. They are constructed using proportional formulas rather than pixels.
VECTOR IMAGES
DPI MEANING
DOTS PER INCH
PPI MEANING
PIXELS PER INCH
These units of measure are essential for determining if the density of pixels in an image is appropriate for the application you are using.
DPI AND PPI
- graphics are composed of pixels
- these can be used to draw mathematical curves, polygons etc.
- they cost less and occupy more space depending on the image quality
- raster graphics can be saved by using file extensions such as JPEG, GIF, BMP, etc.
RASTER
- graphics are composed of paths
- these can draw continuous and smooth lines
- they cost more and occupy less space
- its graphics can be saved by using file extensions such as PDF, EPS, SVG, etc.
VECTOR
TYPES OF IMAGE FILES
- JPEG (JPG)

PRINCIPLES AND BASIC TECHNIQUES OF IMAGE MANIPULATION
- RESIZING
- CROPPING
- ADJUSTING COLOR BACKGROUND
- COMBINING TEXT AND PHOTOS
- BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST
- COMBINING PHOTOS
- BALANCE
- ADD EFFECTS
an art that involves transforming or altering an image using different methods and techniques to achieve desired result
IMAGE MANIPULATION
probably one of the most important things a designer must possess if he wants to do image manipulations. This will make the image more realistic if the original design is extremely far-fetched
PROPORTION
Remember if you do not have a background for your photo manipulation, you should use a ____ that will match the word you are trying to set in your art
TEXTURE
Not every image you use is going to match your background, your texture or even other images. That is where _________ comes in. This is what a designer should look for at first.
COLOR BLENDING
set one area as the main focus. focusing attention on the most vibrant, colorful or sharp area in the design
EMPHASIS ON DETAIL
Images are like missing puzzle pieces; without them, you can never fully complete the puzzle. So choose them carefully. You may need to look at multiple stock images before choosing the right ones for your composition
COMBINING MULTIPLE IMAGES
last principle and basic technique of image manipulation
SHADOWS
Combining Text, Graphics and Images
- TEXT OVERLAID ON IMAGE
- TEXT WRAPPED AROUND IMAGE
- TEXT AND IMAGE INTERSECT
4.TEXT AND IMAGE ALIGNED - TEXT AND IMAGE IN REPEATING SHAPES
When text overlays on image or a solid color background, ere must be sufficient contrast between text and image to make text readable with little effort.
TEXT OVERLAID ON IMAGE
In the wrap-around, the text follows the shape of an image
TEXT WRAPPED AROUND IMAGE
The intersection of text and image can create a dynamic composition.
TEXT AND IMAGE INTERSECT
You can achieve an orderly look by aligning visual elements with each other and placing them in close proximity.
TEXT AND IMAGE ALIGNED
In visual design, repetition creates unity.
TEXT AND IMAGE IN REPEATING SHAPES
allow you to manipulate or edit
images, apply effects, filters, add frames, crop, add text, change background color, make photo collage, and photo album that you would like to do in an image.
