Pixels |
tiny dots of white, black, or colour that make up images on the screen |
|
Painting Software |
paints pixels on the screen with a pointing device such as mouse, stylus |
|
Bitmapped Graphics |
pictures show how the pixels are mapped on the screen |
|
Gray-Scale Graphics |
uses 8 bits per pixel; allows up to 256 shades of gray |
|
Colour Depth |
number of bits devoted to each pixel |
|
Resolution |
density of pixels; (DPI) Dots Per Inch |
|
Anti-aliasing |
smoothes out less than ideal resolutions |
|
Image Processing |
users manipulate photos with tools such as Adobe Photoshop More powerful than traditional photo-retouching techniques Can distort and combine photos Can create fabricated images that show no evidence of tampering |
|
Digital Photo Management Software Programs |
simplify and automate common tasks associated with capturing, organising, editing, and sharing digital images Apple Iphoto Google Picasa |
|
Drawing Software |
stores a picture as a collection of lines and shapes (object-oriented or vector graphics) |
|
|
(portable document format) file format developed by Adobe enables digital documents to be exchanged between programs independent of application software, hardware, or operating system can contain texts, fonts, images and vector images |
|
Advantages of bitmapped painting |
more control over textures, shading and fine detail Appropriate for screen displays, simulating natural paint media, and embellishing photos |
|
Object Oriented Drawing |
gives you advantages such as cleaner lines and smoother shapes |
|
3-D Modelling software |
used to create 3D objects with tools similar to those in drawing software |
|
Computer-aided design (CAD) |
allows engineers, designers, and architects to create designs on screen products ranging from computer chips to public buildings Cheaper, faster and more accurate that traditional design by hand techniques |
|
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) |
process by which data related to the product design are fed into a program that controls the manufacturing of parts |
|
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) |
combination of CAD and CAM |
|
Dynamic Media |
information that changes over time or in response to user input Animation, Video, Audio, Hypertext |
|
Presentation Graphics |
automates creation of visual aids for lectures, training sessions, sales demonstrations, and other presentations Creates slideshows directly on computer monitors or LCD projectors, including still images, animation and video clips |
|
Tweening |
instead of drawing each frame by hand, the animator can create key frames and objects and use software to help fill in the gaps |
|
Vector Graphics |
is the creation of digital images through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in a given two-dimensional or three-dimensional space |
|
Vector Graphic Formats |
Shockwave Flash Format (SWF) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) |
|
Analog and digital video |
a video digitizer can convert analog video singals from a TV broadcast or videotape into digital data |
|
Storyboard |
describes the action, language, dialogue and music in each scene |
|
Adobe Premiere |
video editing software that makes it easy to eliminate extraneous footage, combine clips from multiple takes, insert visual transitions, superimpose titles, synchronize a soundtrack and create special effects |
|
Data Compression |
saves storage space, allows the processor to keep up with the quickly changing frames |
|
Image Compression Software |
compresses graphics and video files ex. Quicktime Windows Media Player |
|
Synthesized |
digital recording of computer sounds |
|
Sound data |
waveform audio records sound which takes up a lot of space records the number of sound snapshots the recording equipment takes each second |
|
Synthesizer |
electronic instrument synthesizes sounds using mathematical formulas |
|
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) |
standard interface allows electronic instruments and computers to communicate with each other ex. A piano style keyboard send its signals to the computer |
|
Sequencing software |
turns computer into musical composing, recording, and editing machine |
|
Virtual Instruments |
instruments that exist only in software |
|
Electronica |
music designed from the ground up with digital technology |
|
Hypertext |
information linked in non sequential ways |
|
Hypermedia |
combines text, numbers, graphics, animation, sound effects, music and other media in hyperlinked documents still in its infancy |
|
Multimedia |
combination of text, graphics, animation, video, music, voice, and sound effects allows the user to take an active part in the experience |
|
Multimedia authoring software |
used to create and edit multimedia documents Adobe Flash |
|
Virtual Reality |
combines virtual worlds with networking places participants in virtual space avatars are used, which convey a sense of presence and emotion |
|
Tele-immersion |
allows multiple-remote users to interact with each other and with computer generated objects |
|
Augmented Reality |
adds virtual information to your sensory perceptions |
