An element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched.

Balance

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-15 15:32:37 UTC

Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar

Emphasis [Contrast]

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-15 15:33:38 UTC

Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.

Movement [Rhythm]

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-15 15:34:11 UTC

Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art.

Neutral Colors

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-20 15:34:38 UTC

A neutral is a color without much intensity or saturation—a color that's lacking in color, if you will, which generally goes with everything. Examples of neutral colors include: Tan. Beige. Ivory.

Complementary Colors

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-20 15:35:28 UTC

Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast with each other more than any other colour, and when placed side-by-side make each other look brighter.

Monochromatic Colors

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-20 15:36:10 UTC

Monochromatic (or mono) is a color scheme based on only one, single color tint. It uses only variations (shades) of a single hue, made by altering the saturation and brightness of the base color. Black and white colors are always added, as they in fact are the brightest, resp. the darkest shade of the color.

Gradient Colors

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-20 15:36:50 UTC

In color science, a color gradient specifies a range of position-dependent colors, usually used to fill a region. In assigning colors to a set of values, a gradient is a continuous colormap, a type of color scheme.

Constructive Critisism

marcoslopez111 — 2023-09-26 16:15:28 UTC

Criticism is the construction of a judgement about the negative or positive qualities of someone or something. Criticism can range from impromptu comments to a written detailed response.

a guide to where to place a subject (a tree, person, building, etc.) or element in a photo (like the horizon) where it will be most pleasing to the eye.

Negative Space

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-04 15:36:32 UTC

emphasizes not just the subject but also the empty space around the subject. So, although the viewer's eyes may focuson a central figure, they can't help but notice the large section of emptiness that surrounds anddefines that figure.

Positive Space

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-04 15:37:27 UTC

Positive space is the idea that any part of a photo that includes the subject, stands out from the rest of the photo. It is key component in most photographs that helps convey emotions towards an audience.

Diptych

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:35:13 UTC

where two separate images are placed side by side

Tripych

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:35:52 UTC

a group of three pictures. It could be three photographs mounted in a frame, closely associated pictures displayed near each other or three pictures in one image. The subject of a triptych is an important defining characteristic.

Orthographic View

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:36:54 UTC

An orthographic projection is a way of representing a 3D object by using several 2D views of the object.

Barrel Lens Distortion

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:37:38 UTC

Barrel lens distortion is an effect associated with wide-angle lenses and, in particular, zoom wide-angles. This effect causes the image to spherize, which means that the edges of the photo look curved and bowed to the human eye. It almost appears as though the photo image has been wrapped around a curved surface.

Pincushion Distortion

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:38:20 UTC

In pincushion distortion, image magnification increases with the distance from the optical axis. The visible effect is that lines that do not go through the centre of the image are bowed inwards, towards the centre of the image, like a pincushion. Convex (plus) spherical lenses tend to have pincushion distortion.

Backlight

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:39:23 UTC

Backlighting means that you compose your pictures so that the primary light source is behind your subject.

Diffused Lighting

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:40:00 UTC

Diffused light, or soft light, is light that's filtered by something. Sunlight through a sheer curtain is diffused. Light from behind a lampshade is diffused compared to the direct light of a bare bulb. The lampshade softens and scatters the light.

Ambient Light

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:41:05 UTC

Ambient light is any light a photographer or cinematographer did not bring to the shoot. Also known as available light, it's any light that you haven't set up yourself. This includes natural light or even pre-existing lighting built in and around the location where you're shooting.

Chiaroscuro

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:41:46 UTC

In photography, the chiaroscuro lighting technique can be defined simply as high contrast lighting. You use the extremes of dark and light to create an arresting image. It can be used in colour or black and white photography.

Silhouette

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-18 15:42:15 UTC

A silhouette is a solid, dark image of a subject against a brighter background. Silhouette pictures usually show the subject in profile.

ISO

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-25 15:31:28 UTC

ISO is your camera's sensitivity to light as it pertains to either film or a digital sensor. A lower ISO value means less sensitivity to light, while a higher ISO means more sensitivity.

ASA

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-25 15:32:11 UTC

The ASA (American Standards Association) scale is an arbitrary rating of film speed; that is, the sensitivity of the film to light. If everything else is kept constant, the required exposure time is inversely proportional to the ASA rating.

Image Sensor

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-25 15:32:56 UTC

An image sensor is a device that allows the camera to convert photons – that is, light – into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the device.

Film Grain

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-25 15:33:39 UTC

Film grain is the visible silver crystals in a film negative's emulsion. These light-sensitive silver halides change into pure metallic silver when exposed to light, which is how an image is captured on film. So, grain is an inherent part of a film image.

Digital Noise

marcoslopez111 — 2023-10-25 15:34:35 UTC

Image noise is random variation of brightness or color information in images, and is usually an aspect of electronic noise. It can be produced by the image sensor and circuitry of a scanner or digital camera. Image noise can also originate in film grain and in the unavoidable shot noise of an ideal photon detector.

F/Stop

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-01 15:31:32 UTC

F-stop is the term used to denote aperture measurements on your camera. The aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera lens, and it's measured in f-stops.

Aperture

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-01 15:32:11 UTC

Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16.

Bokeh

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-01 15:32:39 UTC

In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by circles of confusion. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects.

Depth of Field

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-01 15:33:17 UTC

The depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that are in acceptably sharp focus in an image captured with a camera.

Lens Focal Length

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-01 15:33:53 UTC

The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be. The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view and the higher the magnification.

Auto Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-08 16:32:01 UTC

Automatic modes. In automatic modes the camera determines all aspects of exposure, choosing exposure parameters according to the application within the constraints of correct exposure, including exposure, aperture, focusing, light metering, white balance, and equivalent sensitivity

Manual Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-08 16:32:46 UTC

control every aspect of your camera

Aperture Priority Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-08 16:33:23 UTC

Aperture priority, often abbreviated A or Av on a camera mode dial, is a mode on some cameras that allows the user to set a specific aperture value while the camera selects a shutter speed to match it that will result in proper exposure based on the lighting conditions as measured by the camera's light meter.

Shutter Priority Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-08 16:34:10 UTC

Shutter Speed Priority AE, or simply 'Shutter Priority', is a shooting mode whereby the photographer sets the shutter speed, while the camera automatically sets the Aperture.

Program Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-08 16:34:55 UTC

Program mode (the "P" on the mode dial of most DSLRs) means that the camera still sets the exposure for you. It chooses the correct aperture and shutter speed for the light available, so your shot is correctly exposed. Program mode also unlocks other functions that give you more creative control over your images.

Shutter Speed

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-15 16:31:36 UTC

Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like: It's the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes.

Bulb Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-15 16:32:10 UTC

The Bulb setting on camera shutters is a momentary-action mode that holds shutters open for as long as a photographer depresses the shutter-release button.

Motion Blur

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-15 16:32:41 UTC

Motion blur is the apparent streaking of moving objects in a photograph or a sequence of frames, such as a film or animation. It results when the image being recorded changes during the recording of a single exposure, due to rapid movement or long exposure.

Tripod/Monopod

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-15 16:33:13 UTC

Monopods are similar to tripods but they have a single leg instead of three. They usually use a quick release plate to affix the camera to a head that is screwed into the leg. Monopods can be advantageous in that they are often allowed in places that tripods aren't but stabilization is required for crisp shots.

Camera Shake

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-15 16:33:40 UTC

Camera shake is a term used to define the act of accidentally shaking a camera during shooting due to unsteady hands, which results in blurry images. This generally occurs more often if you're shooting on a low shutter speed or with a heavy lens, and can be avoided by using a tripod and cable release setup.

Long Exposure

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:31:27 UTC

Long-exposure, time-exposure, or slow-shutter photography involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements

Time Lapse

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:32:17 UTC

Time-lapse photography is a technique in which the frequency at which film frames are captured is much lower than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.

Light Painting

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:32:57 UTC

Light painting is the art of creating photos by setting long exposure times on a camera and using a moving light source to “paint.” A light painting photographer opens a camera's shutter and keeps it open as they draw in the air with a light source

Panning

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:33:33 UTC

Panning is a photographic technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of speed around a moving object. It is a way to keep your subject in focus while blurring your background. Panning is typically done on a subject moving horizontally, such as a moving car, or a running dog.c

Burst Mode

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:34:04 UTC

Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode, continuous mode, or burst shot, is a shooting mode in still cameras where several photos are captured in quick succession by either pressing the shutter button or holding it down.

18% Grey

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:34:42 UTC

In photography, painting, and other visual arts, middle gray or middle grey is a tone that is perceptually about halfway between black and white on a lightness scale; in photography and printing, it is typically defined as 18% reflectance in visible light.

Spot Metering

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:35:17 UTC

The most precise of the metering modes, spot metering evaluates light around the chosen focus point or centre of the frame. This provides a precise reading from a very small area of the scene, which means it can be a very effective choice for high-contrast situations.

Partial Metering

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:35:41 UTC

Partial metering covers only the centre 6.2% of the frame in the viewfinder, thus providing precise metering only for the subject. When the background is brighter than the subject due to reasons like back lighting, this metering mode is particularly useful. It is useful for back-lit shots or tiny subjects.

Center Weighted Average Metering

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:36:34 UTC

Term: Description: Center weighted metering is a camera metering mode. Center weighted metering places the highest importance in determining a correct exposure on information contained in the center of the frame.

Evaluative Metering

marcoslopez111 — 2023-11-29 16:36:52 UTC

Evaluative metering is the mostly used automatic metering mode in everyday photography and can be applied in most shooting scenarios. As its name suggests, it takes a series of readings in zones that cover the entire frame, and then calculates the overall average exposure value.

Midtones

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-10 16:32:40 UTC

Midtones Refer To The Tonal Range That Lies Between The Extreme Highlights And Shadows, Lending A Sense Of Depth, Dimension, And Naturalness To A Photograph. In photography, understanding light and its different aspects is fundamental.

Highlights

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-10 16:33:44 UTC

Highlights are the lightest elements in an image,

shadows

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-10 16:34:27 UTC

If you want to learn how to master the use of light in your photographs, look to the shadows. Shadows are the dark areas where a light source is blocked by an object. Shadows change shape, intensity, and even color along with the angle, direction, and temperature of light.

Vignette

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-10 16:35:07 UTC

What is a vignette in photography? A vignette is a darker border - sometimes as a blur or a shadow - at the periphery of photos.

Sepia Tone

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-10 16:36:00 UTC

Sepia toning is a chemical process used in photography which changes the appearance of black-and-white prints to brown.

AF Points

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-17 16:37:05 UTC

Autofocus (AF) points are what you use to determine where the camera will be focusing the image

Bracketing

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-17 16:37:43 UTC

Basically, when you bracket your shots you take exactly the same picture of your subject at several different exposures. This technique gives you a range of options to choose from when you're editing. As a result, it's much less likely that you'll end up with a badly underexposed or overexposed photo.

Exposure Level Indicator

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-17 16:38:41 UTC

The exposure meter indicates the level of light reaching the sensor. Too much light results in over exposure which gives you a photo that is too light and lacking detail. Too little light results in under exposure which gives you a photo that is too dark and again, lacking detail.

Exposure Compensation

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-17 16:39:30 UTC

Exposure compensation basically helps you override automatic exposure adjustments your camera makes in situations with uneven light distribution, filters, non-standard processing, or underexposure or overexposure. It lets you take control of your image's brightness by manually increasing or decreasing exposure.

Workspace Switcher

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-24 16:32:49 UTC

Workspace Switcher displays a visual representation of your workspaces, as shown in Figure 4–3. Figure 4–3 shows the Workspace Switcher when the Java Desktop System session contains four workspaces. Your workspaces appear as buttons on the panel application.

Essentially, an Options bar is a horizontal menu at the top of the main Photoshop window that lets you customize a tool. Let's see an Options bar in action. Select the Rectangular (or any other) Marquee tool. At the top of the Photoshop window, you'll see a new row of icons and settings display.

cropping

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-31 16:32:20 UTC

To “crop” an image is to remove or adjust the outside edges of an image (typically a photo) to improve framing or composition, draw a viewer's eye to the subject, or change the size or aspect ratio. In other words, photo cropping is the act of improving an image by removing unnecessary parts.

aspect ratio

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-31 16:33:13 UTC

The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. Different cameras shoot in different aspect ratios, so whether you're using a digital camera, a 35mm film camera, or an iPhone, they can all vary.

resolution

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-31 16:33:46 UTC

In digital photography, resolution is the level of detail contained in an image. More specifically, it refers to the number of pixels that exist within that image. The higher the resolution, and the richer the pixel count, the more detail and definition you will see.

DPI vs PPI

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-31 16:34:32 UTC

DPI refers to the number of printed dots contained within one inch of an image printed by a printer. PPI refers to the number of pixels contained within one inch of an image displayed on a computer monitor.

SOOC acrynom

marcoslopez111 — 2024-01-31 16:35:17 UTC

SOOC is an abbreviation of the photography term “Straight Out Of Camera”, simply meaning that an image can be good enough to print straight from the camera without further processing.

File Formats

marcoslopez111 — 2024-02-21 16:34:21 UTC

An image file format is a file format for a digital image. There are many formats that can be used, such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Most formats up until 2022 were for storing 2D images, not 3D ones. The data stored in an image file format may be compressed or uncompressed.

Raw File Format

marcoslopez111 — 2024-02-21 16:35:19 UTC

A camera raw image file contains unprocessed or minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, a motion picture film scanner, or other image scanner. Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed, and contain large amounts of potentially redundant data

.PNG

marcoslopez111 — 2024-02-21 16:36:09 UTC

Portable Network Graphics is a raster-graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was developed as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format —unofficially, the initials PNG stood for the recursive acronym "PNG's not GIF"

.JPEG

marcoslopez111 — 2024-02-21 16:36:41 UTC

Double Exposure

marcoslopez111 — 2024-02-28 16:37:21 UTC

Double exposure photography is a technique that layers two different exposures on a single image, combining two photographs into one. Double exposure creates a surreal feeling for your photos and the two photographs can work together to convey deep meaning or symbolism

Hue

marcoslopez111 — 2024-03-20 15:34:17 UTC

Artists and photographers use hue, saturation, and lightness (HSL) to describe color. Hue refers to the dominant wavelength of light that the human eye interprets as color, but you can think of it as the basic color on the color wheel. Saturation describes the intensity of the color.

Vibrance

marcoslopez111 — 2024-03-20 15:34:50 UTC
