Office Productivity Tools Flashcards
_____________ is the process of adding and subtracting pixels in your image. Pixel - are very small dots that constitute an image.
Resizing
This process is one of the most basic photo manipulation processes.
Cropping
it can be used to change the overall tone of your image and also to remove unwanted colors from your image.
Color adjustment
_______________ is the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors).
Color balance
refers to the overall lightness or darkness of the image.
Brightness
______________ is the difference in brightness between objects or regions.
Contrast
_________________ refers to the color of the image itself, while saturation describes the intensity (purity)
Hue
___________________ in visual art and technical drawing means the process of formulating, adding color, shading, and texturing of an image
Rendering
You can change the background if it does not match the image or the totality of the presentation
Changing background color
You can combine multiple images to make a point or use to highlight your message.
Combining images
can add to the realism of your photo manipulation, even when it’s a fantasy scene
Shadow
when combining images, resize the image to make it proportionate and realistic
Proportion
Images are like missing puzzle pieces, without them you can never fully complete the puzzle.
Combining multiple images
There should be a focal point to a page that will attract viewers. The element you want to emphasize should be sharp, big, and most vibrant in your design.
Emphasis on detail
____________________ is a painting technique where two different colors are slightly mixed together when wet, giving a smooth transition from one color to the next
Blending
TIFF stands for
Tagged Image File Format
_________ images create very large file sizes. ____________ images are uncompressed and thus contain a lot of detailed image data (which is why the files are so big)
TIFF
JPEG stands for
Joint Photographic Experts Group
________ files are images that have been compressed to store a lot of information in a small-size file. Most digital cameras store photos in ______________ format, because then you can take more photos on one camera card than you can with other formats.
JPEG
GIF stands for
Graphic Interchange Format
This format compresses images but, as different from JPEG, the compression is lossless (no detail is lost in the compression, but the file can’t be made as small as a JPEG).
GIF
PNG stands for
Portable Network Graphics
It was created as an open format to replace GIF, because the patent for GIF was owned by one company and nobody else wanted to pay licensing fees.
PNG
applications that allow for the viewing, creating and modifying of general office documents (e.g. spreadsheets, memos, presentations, letters, personal database, form generation, image editing, etc.)
Productivity Tools
Three basic functions of digital tools
writing, presentation, and numeracy skills
Generally combined to support decisions in business or management, and in communication contexts.
Three basic functions of digital tools
________________ is the use of a computer to produce many copies of a letter, each copy with a different name and address stored on file, or a computer program that does this. It involves merging a main document with a data source
Mail merging
Generally, these are predefined sets of different shapes grouped together to form ideas that are organizational or structural in nature. If you want to graphically represent an organization, process, relationships, or flow for infographic documents, then you will find this easy and handy to use.
Smart Art
Another type of material that you can integrate in your Word document that allows you to represent data characteristics and trends. This is quite useful when you are preparing reports that correlate and present data in a graphical manner.
Chart
Sometimes, creating reports or manual for training or procedures will require the integration of a more realistic image of what you are discussing on your report or manual.
Screenshot
A block of cells containing related data that have been formatted as a table.
Table
A rectangular area on the screen where you can enter text
Textbox
These are printable objects or materials that you can integrate in your document to enhance its appearance or to allow you to have some tools to use for composing and representing ideas or messages.
Shapes
A text modifying feature in Microsoft Word, a popular word processing program. It includes effects such as shadows, outlines, colors, gradients, and 3D effects that can be added to a word or phrase
WordArt
This is the default setting for images that are inserted or integrated in your document. It treats your image like a text font with the bottom side totally aligned with the text line. This setting is usually used when you need to place your image at the beginning of a paragraph. When placed between text in a paragraph or sentence, it distorts the overall appearance and arrangement of the texts in the paragraph because it will take up the space it needs vertically, pushing whole lines of texts upward.
In Line with Text
This setting allows the text on your document to flow even tighter, taking the contours and shape of the image. Again, this can be best used with a GIF or PNG type of image.
Through
This is almost the same as the Square setting, but here the text “hugs” or conforms to the general shape of the image. This allows you to get a more creative effect on your document. This setting can mostly be achieved if you are using an image that supports transparency like a GIF or PNG file
Tight
This setting pushes the texts away vertically to the top and/or the bottom of the image so that the image occupies a whole text line on its own as in this
Top and Bottom
This allows your image to be dragged and placed anywhere on your document but with all the texts floating in front of it. It effectively makes your image look like a background
Behind Text
This setting allows the image you inserted to placed anywhere within the paragraph with the text going around the image in a square pattern like a frame
Square
As it suggests, this setting allows your image to be placed right on top of the text as if your image was dropped right on it. That means whatever part of the text you placed the image on, it will be covered by the image. In our example below, notice the difference between using a PNG file (on the left) with a transparency effect and a JPG file on the right.
In Front of Text
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Keep slide counts to a range of 10 to 15
Minimize
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to read Tip: A font size of 72 is about an inch (depends on the screen size). A one-inch letter is readable 10 feet away; a two-inch letter is readable 20 feet away.
Clarity
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen to have your audience focus on what the speaker is saying than on reading the slide. Limit the content to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.
Simplicity
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience. In addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.
Visuals
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and backgrounds.
Consistency
Creating an Effective Presentation:
Use light font on dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it is easier to read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is dark. This is due to the brightness of the screen.
Contrast
A _______________ is an expression which calculates the value of a cell.
formula
______________________ are predefined formulas and are already available in Excel.
