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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Monitor Color vs. Print Color One of the reasons that accurate color is difficult ton 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.
