Workbook Week3

The document provides information about a week 3 lecture and lab for a digital literacy course. The lecture will cover using digital images in art, including file formats and sizes. The lab involves students scanning an image at different resolutions and saving copies. By the end of the week, students must scan something from another class as a high-resolution TIFF and lower-resolution JPEG, and answer questions about common file formats, compression, resolution, and scanning an image at appropriate resolutions for printing versus online use.

By the End of This Week: SCAN: something you have done in another class e.g. a drawing/painting (must be dry!)/photograph/print and save it for use at a later date. Save it as a high resolution TIFF, and save a copy as a lower resolution jpeg. READ: Chapter 7: Image Acquisition and Resolution from Digital Foundations Xtine Burrogh & Michael Mandiburg, AIGA Design Press (2009) pp. 109-120 (attched to this worksheet) ANSWER: the questions on the worksheet below (all answers can be found in the lecture or in the reading).

Which image file formats compress the file to create a smaller file size?

Jpeg,

What is resolution? Resolution is a pixel count

What resolution should an image be to PRINT well? The higher resolution, the more crisp and clear it will be.

What resolution is sufficient for a file that is going online? 72dpi

Scan an image to save as an archive/print quality file, choosing the correct resolution to scan it at. Save a copy. Next, change the file size (hint: by changing the resolution) so that you have a version of the file, suitable for posting online, or e-mailing easily (e.g. a smaller file size), and save that too. Write down the full file names here, that you saved them under: Jobig.pdf Josmall.jpeg

Task Go to Adobe Photoshop and open an image. Go to File>Image Size and have a look at the dialogue box. -Change the resolution form 72 to 300dpi and save a copy. - Change the resolution form 300 to72dpi and save a copy. -Note what happens. -Now do the same, but untick Resample Image. -Note what happens. What happens when a file is Resampled? the image changes size.
