so when reopen the file, all the original information about the picture is still there!

71
Q

what is lossy compression

Selected portions of the image are discarded but the selected portions are the ones that will be the ones that least missed or noticed
CANNOT GET THIS INFO BACK ONCE IT IS DISCARDED

99
Q

What does SFTP Stand for

A

Secure File Transfer Protocal

100
Q

What does SFTP do

A

It moves files from 1 location to another (computer - web server)

101
Q

What is a web server

A

A computer that sends or serves up web pages

102
Q

What are some advantages of a web server

A

Connected, always available and well maintained
Connected - computer is on all the time and connected to the internet
Always connected Elena’s that it since will never get turned off your website will always be available
Well maintained - the people running the server will take care of security and computer maintenance issues

103
Q

What is a client

A

Computer requesting to visit the web page

104
Q

What is are some examples of a fiile transfer program

A

Firezilla or WinSCP

105
Q

What code makes a file transfer program thing available to the internet

106
Q

What does RAW mean in terms of compression

A

RAW has no compression at all meaning that it is a large file
It stores info about each pixel one at a time
An image that is 100 by 200 pixels that is RAW will store 60000 bytes of information

107
Q

What is a strategy for using colour to compress an image

A

You can break image into parts where you assign each part to a certain colour
This would be lossless
This strategy is best with regular shapes (in reality gif compressions are a lot more complicated

108
Q

What is another way to compress an image other than assigning each part a colour

A

Looking for patterns and making a decoding hash table eg
0=1234
1=19999
2=3332

Compressing words - texts in a dictionary ASCII

109
Q

How is ASCII code represented in terms of bits

A

Each letter is represented using 8 bits or 1 byte

110
Q

What is Huffman Coding (compare to ACII)

A

Rather than ASCII (each letter is 8bits or 1 byte) use the least number of bits for common letters and more bits for less common letters

111
Q

What did the designer of JPEG compression algorithm realize about the human eye

A

That the human eye is more sensitive to brightness details than to fine color details.

112
Q

How does the JPEG compression algorithm work

A

If it finds two adjacent pixels with very similar colors, it will store both those pixels with the same color and discard the other color.

113
Q

What are the three file formats we will look at

114
Q

What determines the best file format for an image

A

The type of image that we are trying to compress will best determine the best file format to use

115
Q

What does GIF stand for

A

Graphic INterchange format

116
Q

GIFS work cross platform t/f

117
Q

8 bit colour

119
Q

What are GIFS good or not good for

A

Good for clip art logos animations

Not good for photos or like paintings

120
Q

How do GIFS work

A

They look for large blocks of area that all have the same colour

121
Q

Saving an image with 24 bit colour as a gif will do what to the quality

A

It will lower the quality the first time you compress it

122
Q

Are gifs lossy or lossless

123
Q

Do Gifs allow for transparency?

A

Yes - one colour transparency, meaning it allows for transparency of one colour

124
Q

What is one colour transparency and what kind of file format allows for it

A

Allows for transparency on once colour and GIFS allow for this

125
Q

How does animation work with gifs

A

Allows for animation
 Don’t need a plug in for gif animation!
 Works in all browsers, universal format!

126
Q

What is dithering

A

Putting two colours next to eachother to create illusion of another colour
Dithering is the process of juxtaposing pixels of two colors to create the illusion that a third color is present.
