Glossary

24 bit/3 byte image

An image can be either RGB or CMY and each of the three colors uses

 

1 byte or 8 bits of data. Since 3 bytes equals 24 bits, these images are

 

also known as 24 bit images. This system is used for high quality video

 

imaging and scanning. For process color printing, a fourth color

 

(black) is added for optimum effect.

32 bit/4 byte image

An image that uses 8 bits each for CMYK pixels, or 8 bits for each RGB

 

pixel and 8 pixels for a mask layer or other future use. Since 4 byte

 

equal 32 bits, these images are also known as 32 bit images. An 8 bit

 

CMYK image is the minimum required for high quality print

 

reproduction.

4 color printing

Color reproduction method used to create full color output by

 

overlaying cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks.

8 bit/1 byte image

An image limited to 256 tones of one color or 256 different colors.

 

Since 1 byte contains 8 bits and each bit has two choices, 1 byte equals

 

28 choices or 256 possibilities.

Absolute Colorimetric

A rendering intent method similar to Relative Colorimetric except

 

that it does not make adjustments according to the white point. In

 

this method, colors that do not fit within the output color space are

 

rendered at the extremes of the output color space. Colors that fall

 

inside the output color space are matched very accurately.

 

This method is valuable for representing “signature colors“. Colors

 

that are highly identified with a commercial product such as the cyan

 

in the Creo logo.

Additive color model

Color system in which the picture is composed of the combination of

 

Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) light transmitted by the original

 

subject. Effective for monitors and TV's but not for print. Scanners

 

normally first scan in RGB and it is converted into CMYK for

 

printing. See also RGB, CMYK, Process colors, Subtractive color

 

model.

Amplitude Modulation

Halftone screening, as opposed to FM screening, has dots of variable

 

size with equal spacing between dot centers.
