Graphic Notes

Lossy vs Lossless

·      2 formats of image compression

·      Lossy: image data is reduced for smaller file sizes but can cause poor quality

·      Lossless: retains image data for higher quality, uses larger file size

Formats

·      TIF, JPG, and GIF are the most common formats for printing, scanning, and internet images

·      PNG is common web format, high quality and can be transparent

·      Each format has advantages and disadvantages

TIF

·      Tagged Image Format

·      Common format for desktop publishing, print, photos and graphic design

·      Lossless file format; retains image quality for max quality

·      Can be larger file size, not for internet

JPG

·      Joint Photographers Expert Group

·      For digital photography and is best for photo content

·      Lossy format

·      Can reduce image file size 10:1 without compression artifacts

·      Compression level is adjustable

GIF

·      Graphics Interchange Format

·      Best for graphics or images that have flat color or even tone like a cartoon

·      Reduces image size by “indexing” color from 3 channels to 1

·      Adjustable by changing color bit levels from 1 to 8

·      Has no DPI (dots per inch) data for printing, not good for printing

·      Can be animated

Know Your Pixels

·      TIF and JPG best for images with pixels that blend, called “contiguous pixels”

·      GIF is best for images with flat tone, or “non-contiguous pixels”
