This week in visual language I learned about digital imaging. In this lecture we talked about bitmaps, bitmap image formats vectors and photoshop.
Bitmap images are made of pixels which include separate different color in each pixel to make an image. These are not suitable to scale because the image turns out blurry.
There are 5 most common types of bitmap images. These are TIFF (.tiff), BMP (.bmp), PICT (.pict), GIF (.gif) and JPEG (.jpg)
Vector images are made up of points and lines. These are easily rescaled as their is no associated pixel for separate colors.
And finally we completed the lecture with an introduction to photoshop.
In the lab session this week we started using photoshop and made a fruit face.
This is how he turned out.
