Unit 7

Camera Raw

A command that saves the size of thumbnails, the position and visibility of panels, and the size of the Bridge window itself.

Batch Rename

A command used to assign document names, sequence numbers, and more to multiple image files at a time.

Luminance mask

A mask created by selecting just the lightest areas of an image.

Color separation

A printing process that outputs each of the CMYK color channels to independent plates so that they can be loaded with different inks.

In Camera Raw, what adjustments does the Targeted Adjustment tool support?

Hue, saturation, luminance, parametric curve, and grayscale mix.

Unlike proprietary raw processors, Camera Raw can what?

It can process raw files from a variety of camera vendors.

What does the Done button in CR do?

It closes the CR dialog and stores the current settings in the CR database file or in a sidecar XMP file, or in a DNG file, depending on how CR preferences are setup and whether or not the open file(s) reside on a read only disk.

What does the Lens Corrections tab in the Camera Raw dialog look like?

It kind of looks like a camera lens.

What does the Vibrance control in Camera Raw do?

It lets you increase saturation without clipping colors that approach full saturation. It does this by applying a non-linear increase in saturation, so that the less saturated colors are affected more than the highly saturated colors. It also prevents skin tones from becoming over-saturated.

What does the Adjustment Brush tool look in Camera Raw look like?

It looks like a regular paint brush.

What does the white balance tool in Camera Raw look like and where is it located?

It looks like an eyedropper and is located at the top of the Camera Raw dialog.

What may it mean if you notice clipping while working on files in the Camera Raw dialog?

It may mean that the gamut of the color space you are working in is too small to contain all the colors. Choose a larger color space than the current one, do your adjustments in it and then convert to a smaller color space in Photoshop if required. Note: If ProPhoto RGB is chosen, the 16-Bits/Channel should also be chosen to avoid possible posterization.

Which view allows the editing of server-side code and real-time preview of the page?

Live Code

Reference point

Located in the center of the bounding box. This is the point around which the transform command takes place.

Shape

Objects that have dimension (height and weight).created by a basic structure of lines. The three basic shapes are square, circle, and triangle.

Adjustment layers

Nondestructive method of adjusting colors

Design Comp

Sketch of layout created during building stage. Presented to client on paper or Photoshop.

Status Bar

The area located at the bottom of the program window (Win) or the image work area (mac) that displays information such as the file size of the active window and a description of the active tool. In Dreamweaver, bar that appears at the bottom of the Dreamweaver document window. The left end of the status bar displays the tag selector, which shows the HTML tags being used at the insertion point location. The right end displays the window size and estimated download time for the page displayed.

Other than the white balance tool how else can you adjust WB in Camera Raw?

By selecting one of the WB presets from the drop down menu in the Basics panel.

Resolution Dependent

The quality of the image may be affected by the resolution of the computer display. GIF, JPEG, and PNG are all resolution dependent.

If you would like to work in a color space other than the four available in Workflow Options in Camera Raw what is the recommended workflow?

The recommended workflow in this case is to export in ProPhoto RGB and 16-Bits/Channel. It has the widest color gamut out of all the available color spaces and, therefore, can accommodate the colors without clipping. Once in Photoshop, you can convert to the working color space of your choice.

Aspect ratio

The relationship between the width and the height of an image.

Why is it important to modify the pixel aspect ratio of an image if you plan to use it in a video?

Different televisions have different pixel shape. Some are wider than others. If you make an image "normal" for a 4:3 monitor, but the television that the audience is going to view the video with that image is 5:6, the video will look much more stretched.

In Adobe Bridge, what is the term used for the various sections in a panel?

Once you have applied custom settings to a raw file in CR how do you apply the same settings to other similar files without opening them in CR?

Use copy and paste commands located in the Edit > Develop Settings submenu (also available from the context menu) in Bridge, or use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+C/Cmd+Opt+C to copy and then Ctrl+Alt+V/Cmd+Opt+V to paste. When the Paste Camera Raw Settings dialog opens, choose the setting(s) you want to apply and then click OK.

What is a graduated neutral density filter in photography?

A graduated neutral density filter, also known as a graduated ND filter, split neutral density filter, or just a graduated filter, is an optical filter that has a variable light transmission. Typically half of the filter is of neutral density which transitions, either abruptly or gradually, into the other half which is clear. It is used to bring an overly-bright part of a scene into the dynamic range of film or sensor. For example, it can be used to darken a bright sky so that both the sky and subject can be properly exposed.
