File formats

Many different file formats We have seen that PhotoPlus can export a picture into a.jpg file This is only one of many different digital formats that are used for storing pictures Other formats you may have come across include.gif,.bmp,.png, … PhotoPlus also supports a format,.spp, which has many useful features that are not supported by any of the above formats One of these useful features is –spp files allow a picture to have multiple layers
3
A picture with multiple layers This PhotoPlus window shows a picture which has two layers
4
A picture with multiple layers This PhotoPlus window shows a picture which has two layers We can see this by looking at the bottom right corner
5
A picture with multiple layers This PhotoPlus window shows a picture which has two layers We can see this by looking at the bottom right corner This corner can show various tabs
6
A picture with multiple layers This PhotoPlus window shows a picture which has two layers We can see this by looking at the bottom right corner This corner can show various tabs –Currently, the Layers tab is open –It shows two layers –Their names are Layer 4 and Layer 5 but these names are purely coincidental They could have been called Layer 1 and Layer 2

Layer control Look at the layer tab
10
Layer control Look at the layer tab Each layer has a little eye beside it If the eye is open, the layer is visible
11
Layer control Look at the layer tab Each layer has a little eye beside it If the eye is open, the layer is visible
12
Layer control Look at the layer tab Each layer has a little eye beside it If the eye is open, the layer is visible If we click on an eye, it closes –and the corresponding layer become invisible
13
When both layers are visible, we see a boy and a picnic basket
14
Suppose we close the eye for Layer 4
16
The picnic basket becomes invisible
17
Suppose we open the eye again
18
The picnic basket becomes visible again
19
Suppose we close the eye for Layer 5
21
The boy becomes invisible
22
The two layers have different backgrounds The layer containing the boy has an opaque background –coloured white The layer containing the basket has a transparent background
23
The two layers have different backgrounds The layer containing the boy has an opaque background –coloured white The layer containing the basket has a transparent background
24
The two layers have different backgrounds The layer containing the boy has an opaque background –coloured white The layer containing the basket has a transparent background
25
The two layers have different backgrounds The layer containing the boy has an opaque background –coloured white The layer containing the basket has a transparent background
26
Backgrounds and layer ordering If the background of a layer is transparent, the content of the layer(s) below it will show through If the background of a layer is opaque, the content of the layer(s) below it will not show through
27
In this picture, the top layer has a transparent background
28
So the bottom layer, and its white background, show through
29
In this picture, the top layer has a transparent background So the bottom layer, and its white background, show through
30
We can drag a layer up Suppose we want to drag Layer 5 up to the top
31
We can drag a layer up Suppose we want to drag Layer 5 up to the top Click on it, so that it is highlighted
32
We can drag a layer up Suppose we want to drag Layer 5 up to the top Click on it, so that it is highlighted And then drag it up with the mouse
33
We can drag a layer up Suppose we want to drag Layer 5 up to the top Click on it, so that it is highlighted And then drag it up with the mouse Notice that the basket no longer shows through
34
So, back to that motivating example The desired effect was achieved by using two layers

36
The two layers
37
The transparency/opacity of the two layers The top layer contains the boy –And has a transparent background The bottom layer contains the picture of the girls and picnic basket
38
The transparency/opacity of the two layers The top layer contains the boy –And has a transparent background The bottom layer contains the picture of the girls and picnic basket
39
The transparency/opacity of the two layers The top layer contains the boy –And has a transparent background The bottom layer contains the picture of the girls and picnic basket
