What’s New

Directions: Answer the following questions in your activity notebook.

List all the technologies developed from the past years. Group these technology
according to the following:

1. Sources of photos and graphics

2. Online Digital File Formats

3. Image File Format

What is It

A. SOURCES OF PHOTOS AND GRAPHICS

1. Personal and Professional Photos:

• Taken by amateur or professional photographers.

• Downloaded and stored in the computer.
2. Scanned Images:

• Photos transferred from printed photos and graphics using scanning devices to
your computer.

3. Stock Photo Library:

• Photographs and created images that are available for sale.

• Comes in CDs or DVDs

• Royalty-free
 4. Online Stock Photos:

• Found in the World Wide Web (most dominant source)

• May be subjected to copyright and fees.

B. Online Digital File Formats

FILE FORMAT

• It is a way of encoding and storing information to storage.

• Uses suffixes that are added to the end of the filename File Name Extensions.

• File Name Extensions. = It is a means of identifying the format of the file with
a period before it after the file name.
 Digital File Formats

1. Proprietary Formats
• Owned and controlled
by individuals or
corporations.
• File format
specifications are not
available to the public
Usually covered by
copyrights.

2. Open Formats

• AKA Free File Formats

• Free and can be used by
the public.

• Does not have copyrights

or patents.
• Sustained and maintained
by a group of individuals
or organizations.
Digital File Formats Major
Groups

1. Uncompressed or Raw Format: It is used for storing original file format. It is a

flexible form but needs bigger memory to store.

2. Lossless File Format: It is a file format that was compressed to replicate the
original quality but at a reduced file size. It is ideal for storing important files
(images, audio, or video).

3. Lossy File Format – It is a file format that was compressed as an

approximation of the original file but is good enough. It has better compression
rate requiring the least memory.
 C. Image File Formats
These are means of storing and organizing digital images, photos, and illustrations.
It can be classified into two types:
• Raster/Bitmap Image Files

• Vector Graphics Files

Raster Image Files

• AKA Bitmap Image

• It is representing digital images in bits of information for storage, which
translates to PIXELS when viewed on screen.

• Majority of raster images are LOSSY.

• It is the common format you will encounter in the internet.

The concept of PIXELS

Pixels
• Pix = Picture; El = Element

• It is the smallest information of an image.

• It is represented by dots or squares that are arranged and added together to

form a picture.

Employs lossless compression.

.psd • Photoshop Document (PSD)

• It is a native file format for Adobe Photoshop.
• Photoshop has the ability to read all of the other formats and edit
them.

VECTOR Image Files

• AKA Vector Forma or Graphic

• These are lossless files created using mathematical geometric equations to
represent images in digital computer graphics.

• It retains the quality of the images in any desired image size.

• It is the preferred format for those who desire quality prints and display of
images.

Types of Vector Image Formats

File Name Description

Extension
