Each image management program has a file format specific to that program called its default format.
Example - All Word Documents default to .doc as a file extension. We’ll explore others later.

Explain compression as it applies to graphics.
Explain compression as it applies to graphics.
Compression in graphic files is the process of reducing the size of the image.
The reduction in file size allows more images to be stored in a given amount of disk or memory space.
It reduces the time required for images to be sent over the Internet or downloaded from Web pages.

Lossy -The JPEG image file, commonly used for photographs and other complex still images on the Web, is an image that has lossy compression. Using JPEG compression, the creator can decide how much loss to introduce and make a trade-off between file size and image quality.

Lossless compression does not change any pixel data.
Lossless compression never discards any information about the original file.
This makes the file size larger.

Lossy compression creates smaller files by discarding some information about the original image. It removes details and color changes it deems too small for the human eye to differentiate.
Lossy compression reduces the size of the file by removing pixels that are not essential.

What is resolution?What is resolution?
Resolution is the density of pixels in an image. The standard resolution for the internet is 72 ppi (pixels per inch).
The higher the resolution, the sharper the image.

ResolutionResolution
Resolution is expressed as Dots Per Inch (dpi) when printed, or Pixels Per Inch (ppi) when viewed.
The dpi measure indicates the quality of the image
The higher the dpi value is, the higher the density of visual information that is available to represent the image. The more visual information there is the sharper and more color rich the image.

If the image is enlarged, the dpi value decreases
If the image is reduced in size, the dpi value or resolution increases.
Just remember that the lower the resolution, the fuzzier the image quality appears. The higher the resolution, the sharper the image quality appears.

Be aware of your focus point so that the main subject of the photo will be sharp.

Generally, the light should come from behind the photographer unless your intention is to take a photo of a silhouette.
Moving to different angles gives new perspective to the photo.

BackgroundBackground
Be aware of the background Is there a utility pole or a tree that
looks like it is growing from the subject's head?
Color is important too: Is your subject wearing a white shirt standing against a white wall?

FramingFraming
Fill the frame:The viewfinder may exaggerate what you see. You often perceive things a bit bigger
than they actually are and tend not to notice 'slight' distractions. What you end
up with is photographs with huge areas of wasted space around the edge and people
with things growing out of their heads. Make sure your subject fills the frame. The best way to do this is to move a bit closer.

Drawing the eye into the Photo
A line is an effective element of design because it can lead the viewer's eye. To create more effective photographs, actively look for lines and arrange them within your viewfinder to invoke specific feelings.
