  1. Working with Images Objectives: The student will understand that image can be modified or transformed to enhance a publication. The student will understand the proper use of color in a publication. The student will understand that color can be used to communicate a mood or a feeling in a publication.

  2. Pixels and Resolution: • Pixels: The smallest element of an image or a picture. • The greater the number of pixels per inch, the greater the resolution.

  3. Bitmap (Raster) vs. Vector • Bitmap/Raster Images • are produced by digital image capture devices: digital scanners or digital cameras, or by pixel editing programs (e.g., Adobe Photoshop). • Resolution Dependent • Cannot easily be resized

  4. Bitmap (Raster) vs. Vector • Vector Images • are produced using coordinate points and mathematically drawn lines and curves, which can be freely sized and rotated without image degradation in the final input. • Resolution Independent • Can easily be resized

  5. Cropping • Cropping is the process of removing part of an image. • Cropping consists of removing the edges of a picture, or pulling out a single element that can be used in a way not possible if the entire image is selected.

  6. Resizing • Increasing or decreasing an image horizontally and/or vertically while maintaining aspect ratio.

  7. Skewing:An effect that distorts a block of text or a graphic. • It may be tempting to want to squeeze an image slightly to make it fit into an open spot on the page. DON’T DO IT!

  8. Shadowing/Drop Shadow: • Shadows are used to create a three dimensional effect, giving depth to an image or text.

  9. Flipping • Flipping an image vertically or horizontally is an option. Flipping is generally useful when working with images of people. • Generally it is best if a person’s eyes are focused on a page, rather than away from it. (Directional Flow) Original Flipped

  10. Rotation • Photos that have been shot horizontally or vertically can be rotated 90 degrees to be used in a publication. Most DTP software also has some type of free rotation tool.

  11. Fill and Stroke: • Fill: A pattern, color or tint applied to the inside of a closed object. • Example: Yellow fill • Stroke: Manipulating the width or color of a line. • Example: Orange stroke Example

  12. Text Wrap • An option for controlling whether and how text flows around a graphic or another object.

  13. Grouping: • The ability to combine two or more objects into a single unit. • The purpose of grouping is to make the objects easier to manipulate. • Examples: moving, changing size

  14. Layering: • The practice of placing text and images on top of each other in a design.

  15. Opacity and Watermarks: • Opacity: The ability to see through one object or layer to another below it. • Watermark: A pale image or text imprinted into paper. Scoreboard Mountain View 28-7 W Hillcrest 21-0 W Lone Peak 6-14 L

  16. Monitor Color vs. Print Color • One of the reasons that accurate color is difficult to manage is because the monitor produces color differently than a printer. • A monitor produces color by mixing red, green and blue • RGB color • A printer produces color by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow, and black • CMYK color • Make sure you always use a printed color guide to choose colors in your document.

  17. Color Theory • Color theory consists of an understanding of the relationship of color. • You may combine: • Complementary colors- • Those across from each other • Analogous colors- • Those right next to each other • Warm colors- • Orange/red side of color wheel • Cool colors- • Blue side of color wheel cool colors warm colors Color wheel
