1 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Fundamentals of Web Imaging Instructor: Joseph DiVerdi, Ph.D., MBA

2 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Core Imaging Concepts Graphics Models –Raster vs. Vector Image Types –“Photograph” vs. “Cartoon” Color Models –Black-White, Grayscale, RGB, HSL, HSB,... File Formats –GIF, JPEG, PNG,...

3 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Graphics Models Raster Environment –Space Is Defined Using a Fixed Number of Points Called Pixels Which Possess a Color Images Are Made up of Arrays of Pixels Adobe PhotoShop

4 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Raster Examples Magnified View of TV or Monitor Screen Magnified View of Printed Magazine

5 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Raster Examples Magnified View of Image of TV or Monitor Screen Notice the Effects of a Limited Number of Pixels

6 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Importance of Image Size On the Web: –Number of Pixels Is the Coin of the Realm Web Browsers Will Render Images at a Resolution Fixed by the OS & Selected by the Viewer Typical Values for Desktop Computers: –Windows:96 dpi –Mac:72 dpi Images You Create & Use Will Have a Pixel Size Which Determines Their Rendered Size

7 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Importance of Resolution

8 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Graphics Models Vector Environment –Objects Are Defined Using Mathematical Operations line: start_point, end_point patch: top_left_point, bottom_right_point, color Adobe Illustrator, PostScript

9 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Vector Examples

10 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Graphics Models Vector Environment –Requires Considerable Processing Power to Render or Display Image –Objects Can Be Manipulated at Any Time –Image Is Scalable, Always Rendered at the Output Device’s Resolution Raster Environment –Images Have Intrinsic Resolution –Objects Do Not Exist –Data Size Depends on Pixel Count –WWW Is Primarily but Not Exclusively Raster

11 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image Types Pictures –Continuous Gradations of Color –Note Progression of Color Across the Arms –Think Photographs

12 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image Types Cartoons –Relatively Large Patches of Constant Color –Notice the Colors on the Cat's Neck and Underside –Gradients Can Be Simulated or Approximated –Notice the Patches on the Guitar's Surface –Think Cartoons

14 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC RGB Colors

15 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Color Models - HSL

16 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Color Models

17 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Storage Size The Size of an Image File Depends On –The Number of Pixels in It –The Color Mode –The Amount of Compression Applied to It

18 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Color Modes B/W –One Bit Per Pixel Grayscale –One Byte Per Pixel RBG –One Byte Per Pixel Three Colors One Byte Per Color Per Pixel Palette –8-Bit Palette -> One Byte Per Pixel 16-Bit Palette -> Two Bytes Per Pixel

19 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Storage Formats

20 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image Artifacts Saved as JPEGSaved as GIF

21 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image Artifacts Saved as JPEGSaved as GIF 6.3 kByte4.0 kByte

22 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image Artifacts Saved as JPEGSaved as GIF 6.3 kByte 25.8 kByte

23 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC GIF Storage Issues 5.2 kByte 2.6 kByte

24 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Web Page Size Guideline For Viewers with Slow Connections: –Lowest Common Denominator Approach –Limit Total Page Size to 25 kByte is Best –Limit Total Page Size to 50 kByte is OK –That includes: HTML All Images on Page (Add Them All up & Don't Cheat) Violate This Only If You Can Justify It –Consider Using More Smaller Pages

25 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Page Download & Rendering Browser Requests HTML Server Delivers HTML, e.g.,1000 byte Browser Begins Rendering Process – Tag Appears in HTML Without Size Info Browser Halts Rendering Process Browser Requests Image Server Delivers image, e.g., 10000 byte Browser Continues Rendering Process – Tag Appears in HTML Without Size Info Browser Halts Rendering process...

26 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Page Download & Rendering During This Process –What Does the Viewer See? Partial (at Best) Page Nothing –What Does the Viewer Think? *&#$^*!!! This is Very Easy to Prevent...

27 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Page Download & Rendering Every Tag –Must Contain Width & Height Attributes <IMGSRC="logo.gif" HEIGHT=50 WIDTH=250 ALT="XTR logo" >

28 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Page Download & Rendering Browser Requests HTML Server Delivers HTML Browser Begins Rendering Process – Tag Appears in HTML With Size Info Browser Reserves Space on Page Browser Continues Rendering Process Browser Finishes Rendering HTML Browser Requests Images, One at a Time Server Delivers images, One at a Time Browser Fills in Empty Image Spaces...

29 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Page Download & Rendering During This Process –What Does the Viewer See? Text Appears Quickly Spaces are Left Open for Images Images Fill in the Spaces –What Does the Viewer Think? Viewer is Too Busy Reading Your Most Excellent Content to Think

30 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Image-Related Tasks Tasks That You Will Often Perform –Scanning & Conversion From Scanned Format –Download & Conversion From On-line Format Don’t Forget Copyright Issues! –Creation of New Image Elements Now You’re on the Other Side of the Copyright Issue –Modification in Working Format Image Editing & Composing –Reduction to On-line Format Size, Format, & Composition

31 Fundamentals of WWW Imaging Fort Collins, CO Copyright © XTR Systems, LLC Working Format Image Size Color Model.PSD Format Layers Working Format Image Size Color Model.PSD Format Layers Scanned Images On-Line Images On-Line Images “Homemade” Art “Homemade” Art On-Line Images On-Line Images
