Glossary [Ps] GLOSSARY Flatten Image: means that all existing layers in a document are merged into a single. It is used to save the image formats that support only one layer, such as JPEG, GIF, etc.
Brightness: lightness or darkness of a color. Measured in percentage, 0% equals black and 100% corresponds to white.
background layer: every document shall consist of at least one layer, and this will be the background layer. In documents from more than one layer, bottom layer is the bottom layer, this can not be changed.
Image layer: an image layer is that which contains images and is susceptible to the effects. Layers
linked: it is called linked layer to that layer that displays a small chain. In lazamos layers momentarily to a single layer with which they are linked. Linked layers
suffer the same modifications as the current layer.
Foreground and background color: colors are stored in the palette. In the front is painted, filled, become degraded, etc, with the background color will fill the cleared areas and increases the document.
Contrast: as the contrast value to view a document with purer colors or more muted. One gray is equivalent to minimum contrast and maximum contrast convert the document to pure colors.
Layer Masks: is used to cover parts of a layer that is not interested in showing. The masked areas are not lost but is hidden behind the mask without deleting. Turning off the mask again be seen.
are very useful if you want to blur the edges of an image, for it in the menu layers add a layer mask. With black color is added mask, white mask is removed. Does not work in the background mask.
color modes: each of the models that can represent both an image viewing and printing.
Opacity: option to control the degree of transparency of a layer. This will vary their own visibility and will look like layers that are underneath it.
FOCUS: degree of finesse in the assessment of the details of an image on the monitor or in printed output.
GRAY BALANCE: Balancing colors CMYK needed to get neutral grays without a dominant color tone.
GRAYSCALE: continuous-tone image has only black, white and gray.
DEGRADED: In Photoshop, the gradual transition between the foreground and background color that is produced by the gradient tool.
SATURATION: The degree to which one or two of the three primary colors RGB color predominate. As equal amounts of RGB, color saturation is losing up to pour in gray or blanco.2) Purity of a color. The more gray a color has, the less is its saturated
TOLERANCE: range pixel values \u200b\u200bincluding a particular tool operates. For example, the range of tones or colors that will be selected by clicking with the wand or will be completed by the paint.
TONE: wavelength light of a pure color, giving the color name like red or blue, independently of its saturation and brightness. 2) The color of an object perceived by the eye due to the prevalence of one or two primary colors RGB.
Blur Effect graph is an image blur to soften.
layer modes: is how some colors are mixed with others. You can choose one of them in any drawing tool
Normal: is the most commonly used. The color of the cap all the graphic tool. Dissolve
: as normal but the pixels are mixed at random leaving gaps.
Behind: identical to normal, but only where there is paint transparent areas. Multiply
: the numerical value of color we paint the front multiplied by the numerical value of the color of the background image. Dark colors are usually achieved.
Plot: works the same as above but multiplied by negative values. Thus resulting colors.
Overlay: mixed colors as the lights and shadows are observed.
Soft Light: depending on the tone of the color is dark or light generated results.
Vivid Light: depending on the luminosity (the amount of gray) of the drawing color lightens or darkens the result. Dodge
color: colors are clear and the graphic is brighter. If used in clear zones generated almost white areas, if applicable in dark areas barely noticeable effect.
Color Burn: background colors are darker. Not noticeable in the black and white.
Darken: if the color is painted is darker than the background, the pixels will be painted this color, if the background is lighter not change the background.
Clarify: unlike the previous mode.
Difference: looking for value pixel brightness of the background, and the result is the difference with the front or vice versa depending on which has greater value.
Exclusion: Like the previous mode but with smoother results. If you paint with white you get the negative image, but if it is painted with black, nothing happens.
Tone: the result depends on the brightness and color saturation of the substance, and tone and color that you paint.
Saturation: not notice the effects in areas without color. Will retain the brightness and tone of the document and added color saturation that being painted.
Color: take the brightness of the background document and saturation and tone the making of the foreground color.
Brightness: takes the hue and saturation of the document and the luminosity of the blend color. It is the opposite effect produced by the previous mode. ------------------------------------
Opacity: option to control the transparency of a layer. This will vary their own visibility and will look like layers that are underneath it.
Rules: Photoshop tool that shows two rules, a left vertical and horizontal document at the top. This rule is set from general preferences. It is very useful for accurate work, as always indicates the position of the pointer.
Saturation: saturation is a measure of the authenticity of a color is its purity. Represents the amount of gray colors with a pitch. The gray equals 0% and 100% will complete saturation.
Tone: pitch is the property of a color, the color perceived by the eye. Thus it is said that an object has tone red, blue, green, as expressed by the color name.
Vector Paths: are vector lines that can be created for further editing, outline and fill color. It may take the desired pattern and make selection, obtaining accurate selections. To have vector character can be exported to programs such as Illustrator.
types of formats: PSD, PDD: original Photoshop format. Save layers, channels, guides and in any color mode.
PostScript: is not exactly a format, but a description language pages. It is commonly found in PostScript documents. Drawing primitives used for editing.
EPS: is a version of PostScript, is used to place images in a document. It supports vector and desktop publishing programs.
DCS: was created by Quark (desktop publishing software company) and can store fonts, patterns, etc. It is used for filming in desktop publishing.
Prev EPS TIFF: to visualize EPS files that do not open in Photoshop, such as QuarkXPress.
BMP: Windows standard format.
GIF: widely used for web. Allows you to store an alpha channel to give it transparency, and save as interlaced for the load on the web do so in several steps. Supports up to 256 colors.
JPEG: also widely used in the WWW, very high compression ratio and good image quality. TIFF
: a solution designed to move from PC to Mac and vice versa.
PICT: from MAC platforms is exported to desktop publishing software like QuarkXPress.
PNG: the same use that the GIF, but with higher quality. Supports transparency and colors to 24 bits. Only recent versions of browsers can bear it.
PDF: original Acrobat format. Allows you to store both vector and bitmap.
IFF: is used to exchange data with Amiga.
PCX: PC format only. Allows color to 1, 4, 8 and 24 pixels.
RAW: standard format for any platform or graphics program.
TGA: compatible teams with Truevision graphics card.
Scitex CT: format used for professional-quality documents.
Filmstrip: is used to make animations. You can also import or export to Premiere. FlashPix
: Kodak native format to quickly open images of superior quality.
