Digital Graphics
Drawings or images, created with the use of computer graphic
software, are called digital graphics
Identify the fundamentals of digital graphics
Pixel
A pixel is a tiny illuminated dot having a colour which is displayed on a
computer screen. The digital graphics are created with thousands of
such pixels.
• These pixels get arranged in rows or columns close to each other to produce
graphical image

• A digital graphic is an array


• of rectangular pixels called
• a bitmap.
Colours used in a graphic are
represented by the number of bits per
pixel
(bpp) used.
Graphics which use more bits per
Colours in a pixel and the number of bits
Resolution

image resolution. dots per inch (dpi) used
(horizontal or vertical) are
considered.

Colour
A digital graphic contains tens of thousands of pixels. Each pixel
represents a colour. Therefore, a pixel is a small dot with a colour.

“There are about 16 million of recognizable colours visible to the


naked eye.”
RGB Model – This is widely used to create images on television screens or
computer screens using coloured lights. The Primary Colours used here are Red,
Green and Blue.
CMYK Model – This model is used for printing on paper using coloured inks.
The Primary Colours used here are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black.
Colours are very useful to maintain the quality of the picture
or illustration.
Single colours are known as primary colours.
Colours made by mixing two coloursare known as
secondary colours
There are 256 (0 - 255) colour variations in a primary colour

Forming a tertiary colour


To make a tertiary colour, the colour combination should be
from 000, 000, 000 to 255, 255, 255. This is known as RGB
Triplet
Graphic size and compression
The size of a graphic is determined by the number of pixels, the number of lines
and the colour combinations used for the creation

There may be difficulties in storing and transmission of such a graphic. Graphic


compression is used to compress file size. Compression can be carried out at the
time of saving the graphic or later.

The file formats used for compression in saving a graphic may or may not cause
affect to the original quality of the graphic

There are two methods for graphic compression - Lossy


compression and Lossless compression.
It is possible to compress graphics to a minimum size using
Lossy file formats, but this compression reduce the quality of
the original graphic.
Lossy compression is useful. JPEG, TIFF, BMP are a
example for Lossy file formats.
it is possible to compress a graphic preserving its original
quality.

This compression is identified as Lossless format. GIF,


PNG, RAW are examples for Lossless file formats.
Graphic Types
Digital graphics fall into two main categories. They are raster
graphics and vector graphics. The type of graphic (raster or vector) is
decided according to the graphical software used.
Graphic Design
There are many software types for the creation of static
graphics.
GIMP
GIMP is an image manipulation program created for GNU free and
open source operating system. This free software is widely used to
reconstruct photographs, create graphics, edit and formatting of
graphics.
