  1. Computer graphic basics by Alessandro Cazziolato

  2. Putting images intocomputer memory ? 1010010011001111010101111011111110001011 In the computer memory you can storeonly numbers

  3. Solving the problem 11110000 00111100 00001111 We must transform colors in numbers

  4. Coding an information LLL LLL • An “O” can’t travel across an electrical wire • … but an electrical impulse can! • By convention we state that “O” is coded into 3 long pulse _ _ _ O is _ _ _ _ _ _ is an O

  5. Color models • A color model is a mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers • It is also a system for creating a huge range of colors from a small set of basic or primary colors • The two most common color models used in computer graphics are RGB and CMYK

  6. RGB color model • 3 primary colors: Red, Green and Blue • Uses light to display color • It is an additive color model • For computer displays

  7. CMYK color model • 3 primary colors (plus one): Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (plus Black) • Uses ink to display color • Black is added to compensate for ink impurities • It is a subtractive color model • For printed material

  8. Color spaces • A color space is a particular variant of a color model with a specific range of colors • This range of colors is called gamut

  9. Pixel From images to pixels • We divide the image in a large amount of small parts • Each part has it’s own single color • A single part is a basic element of the picture, and is called Pixel

  10. Bit depth • The bit depth is the number of bits used to store information about the color of each pixel of an image • The higher the depth, the more colors are available

  11. Bit depth: 1bit • Black and white images • 1bit = 2 colors • 21 = 2

  12. Bit depth: 8bit (grayscale) • Grayscale images • 8bit = 256 colors • 28 = 256

  13. Bit depth: 8bit (color palette) • Color images with color palette • 8bit = 256 colors • 28 = 256

  14. Bit depth: 24bit (true color) • Color images (no palette) • 24bit = 16,777,216 colors • 224 = 16,777,216 • The human eye can see about 10 to 15 millions of colors • 24 bit depth is true color

  15. Coding Color model Color space Primary color RGB CMYK Gamut Bit depth Black & white Grayscale Color palette True color Glossary

  16. Colors Size Resolution Image quality Image quality pixels bit depth dpi & ppi Screen & printer

  17. Final reports • Has Internet a graphics standard “best choise”? • Why? • bit depth • pixels • dpi & ppi when and why?
