• Features of image editors

  • Selection

• Infographics

  Graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly
• Types of infographic

  • Statistical
  • Process flow
  • Geographical
• Tool used in manipulating multiple images in one without affecting the effects set on each image.

  Layer
• Removes unwanted area in an image

  CROP
• Adjusts the color to make it more visible

  CONTRAST
• Organizes the arrangement of multiple images


  GRID
• Clean arrangement of multiple images


  Layout
• Adds relevant information to an image

  Text
• Arranges multiple images in a layout same like what hangs on a wall traditionally

  Frame
• Adjusts color image to be stronger

  Saturation
• Adjusts distracting part of an image without affecting the focal point.

  BLUR
• Increases or decreases the light of an image.

  Brightness
• Composed of multiple images

  COLLAGE
• Makes the layer transparent


  SCREEN
• Maintains the highlights on both layers and blends them together

  OVERLAY
• Decreasing this makes the layer more transparent

  OPACITY
• Rotates, increases or decreases the size of the layer

  TRANSPARENCY
• JPEG HAS A "LOSSY FORMAT"


  THIS MEANS THE IMAGE IS COMPRESSED TO MAKE A SMALLER FILE
• PNG FILES ARE 


  "LOSSLESS IMAGE FORMAT" THAT IS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO IMPROVE UPON AND REPLACE GIF FORMAT
• GIF FILES ARE


  WIDELY USED FOR WEB GRAPHICS BEC THEY ARE LIMITED TO ONLY 256 COLORS AND CAN ALLOW FOR TRANSPARENCY AND ANIMATED
• Selection


  one of the prerequisites for many of the app mentioned below is a method of selecting part(s) of an image, thus applying a change selectively without affecting the entire picture.
• TYPES OF SELECTION 


  a.Marquee Toolfor selecting rectangular or other regular polygon-shaped regions. b.Lasso Toolfor freehand selection of a region. c.Magic Wand Toolselects objects or regions in the image defined by proximity of color or luminance.
• Layers


  which are analogous to sheets of transparent acetate, stacked on top of each other, each capable of being individually positioned, altered and blended with the layers below, w/o affecting any of the elements on the other layers.
• Image Size–


  resize images in a process often called image scaling, making them larger, or smaller. High image resolution cameras can produce large images which are often reduced in size for Internet use.
• Image Orientation


  Image editors are capable of altering an image to be rotated in any direction and to any degree. Mirror images can be created and images can be horizontally flipped or vertically flopped. Rotated image usually requires cropping afterwards, in order to remove the resulting gaps at the image edges.
