Normal Formula: 1.5 x LPI = PPI

Double Formula: 2 x LPI = PPI

NOTE: to get whatever size you want for your document, add this step: 1.5 x LPI x %(whatever size you want) = result.


Name the basic LPI's, their linescreen and resolution:

Laser printer, copy machine - 65 or 85 linescreen, 130 or 170 resolution.

Commercial Newspaper - 85 to 120 linescreen, 170 to 240 resolution.

Quick-print shop, copy shop - 100 to 120 linescreen, 200 to 240 resolution.

Name the color modes, their bit depth, their number of channels and their number of colors:

Bitmap(BMP) - 1-bit, 1 channel and 2 colors.

Let me take a lunch break and then I'll return. At least this time I've got a couple of days to study this. Last time I only had one day to study. I got a B on the test, an A for the graphic design project. I hope to get the test an A and the next project an A as well. It's hard, but I KNOW I can do this! :] Effort and desire meet success! XD

What is then definition of compression?:

Compression - the information in a file is squished so the file takes up less disk space.


What is the definitions of compression's lossy and lossless traits?:

Lossy - some of the data in the file is lost when it's compressed, so there may be less detail in the picture.

Lossless - no data is lost when the file is compressed, so the image looks exactly the same when it's compressed as it does when it's not compressed.


What is the definition of a clipping path?:

Clipping Path - masks out the white areas around an image.


What is stock photos and clip art?:

Stock Photos - professional photographs that cover a wide range of subjects and are sold to designers and ad agencies to use in their printed material.

Clip Art - professional illustrations and drawings that are also sold for use in projects and have no specific product or company mentioned.


When you take a photo of someone and you're going to use it for professional reasons, what should you do?:

You should buy a license to use the photos--not the actual photos themselves.
