New Entries in the Graphics Glossary

Is there something you like to see added to the graphics glossary? Use the comment form below to make a suggestion.

I see you have alpha channels, but maybe Channels. And Layers might be another one to add.

I have NEVER done graphics before and want to learn 2 things only.
How do I begin to learn to annotate my name on the graphics I already have in My Pictures File Folder..
I want to use them for my 360 page.
360 only takes JPEG graphics.
That’s all I want to do first.
Then, later on, to learn how to change formats of the graphics I have…ie: GIF to JPEG.

I have no experience and didn’t download Pain Shop Pro yet.
Thanks so much.

Can you distinguish the difference between internet publishing and electronic publishing?

I am considering different photo editing software, i have never really used any in-depth graphic arts program or anything like that. I dont know if there’s a word for it so this may so stupid but on photo shop or paint shop pro. can you put one picture on top of another as a backround? or can you add a photo object to the backround of a picture?
really handy website by the way.

Lee: Yes, the majority of photo editors will handle those tasks. Have a look here for some starting points: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pixelbased/a/bybphotoeditor.htm

I really want to learn how to do fotos where the majority is B/W with only selected sections colour? I have photoshop elements

Have a nice day!

In the lesson three of adobe photoshop Image Modes & Color Selection part (A)Color Primer there are some terms i think thats you explore all terms except Hexadecimal Color. I wish thats you answer me.

Another word defintion that should be added to the glossary is OVERSCAN.

Pls add Filters

You should probably add “layers,” so common in photoshop and similar programs, and a related word, “compositing”–more commonly used in video.

I’m an inventor and learning Blender as a neophyte. The terminology for graphics is TOTALLY foreign.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

What about “Alpha” and other more basic terms?

Add “drawing software” please .

Could you add the following terms:

View
Vision
Spectrum

thanks,

comparing Genious drawing tablets there is a feature called report rate (RPS), and i dont know what it is

What are “fractals” and “scaling” in graphics? Is there some relationship between the two terms?

@Tony: You can learn about Fractals here: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/fractals/ Fractals are infinitely repeating patterns, so as you scale them (zoom in and out) you will always see a pattern.
