Task 3

· RGB Red, green, and blue
· HSB Hue, Saturation, Brightness
Grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample, that is, it carries the full (and only) information about its intensity. Images of this sort are composed exclusively of shades of neutral gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest.
Grayscale images are distinct from black-and-white images, which in the context of computer imaging are images with only two colors, black and white (also called bilevel, binary images or more commonly bitmapped images); grayscale images have many shades of gray in between. In most contexts other than digital imaging, however, the term "black and white" is used in place of "grayscale"; for example, photography in shades of gray is typically called "black-and-white photography". The term monochromatic in some digital imaging contexts is synonymous with grayscale (as it denotes absence of any concrete hue), and in some contexts synonymous with black-and-white.
Grayscale images are often the result of measuring the intensity of light at each pixel in a single band of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, etc.), and in such cases they are monochromatic proper when only a given frequency is captured. But also they can be synthesized from a full color image; see the section about converting to grayscale.
TASK 4
Describe the following File Formats:
· AI -Adobe Illustrator
· PDF -portable document file
· EPS- Encapsulated PostScript
· SVG - Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
· PSD -Adobe Photoshop document
· TIFF -Tagged Image File Format
· JPEG- Joint Photographic Experts Group,
· GIF- Graphics Interchange Format
· PNG -Portable Network Graphics,
Task 5
In relation to Adobe Illustrator CS, explain the following:
· The Adobe Type Engine and Legacy Type –
Illustrator's designer-friendly interface to define the curve (the Bezier Pen tool) and Illy will write the code for the curve for you. Open the file in a text processor to see the code it made.
Same thing applies from the simplest rotation of a rectangle to the most complex gradient mesh. It's a pure PostScript translator, a bridge between left and right-brain activities. between art and math
· Open Type, Postscript Type 1, and True Type Fonts -
True Type to Postscript Type 3 converter, Which will convert Most True Type Fonts to an Adobe Type 1 .pfa file. And also the other font formats supported by the Free Type library to an Adobe Type 1 .pfa file. And the BDF fonts to an Adobe Type 1 .pfa file. Yet another use is as a hinting engine: feed it an unhinted or poorly hinted Adobe Type 1 font through the Free Type library and get it back with freshly generated hints. If you want .pfb files, don't despair: they can be produced too. The files produced by default are in human readable form, which further needs to be encoded with the t1utilities, to work with most software requiring type 1 fonts.
