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)

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. Example 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: On top of these objects.
The practice of placing text and images on top of each other in a design.
On top of these objects.

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.

16. 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.

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
