Alpha Channel

Alpha Channel (Transparency Mask)

An alpha channel stores transparency information for each pixel in an image, with values ranging from fully transparent to fully opaque. It is the fourth channel in RGBA color, enabling smooth blending of images over backgrounds.

Aspect Ratio

Chroma Subsampling

Chroma Subsampling (Color Resolution Reduction)

Chroma subsampling reduces the color resolution of an image while preserving full brightness (luminance) detail. Human eyes are less sensitive to color changes than brightness changes, making this an efficient compression technique.

Chromatic Aberration

A lens defect causing color fringing at edges where different wavelengths of light focus at slightly different points.

Color Grading (Image)

Image Color Grading

Adjusting color balance, contrast, and tone curves to achieve a desired mood or visual style in an image.

Compression artifacts are visible distortions introduced by lossy compression algorithms. Common artifacts include blockiness (JPEG macroblocks), ringing around sharp edges, color banding in gradients, and mosquito noise.

Dithering (Image)

Image Dithering

A technique that simulates additional colors by arranging limited-palette pixels in patterns that blend visually.

Image Histogram

Image Registration

Image Pyramid

A multi-scale representation of an image at progressively lower resolutions, used in image analysis and blending.

Rasterization

Rasterization (Vector-to-Pixel Conversion)

Rasterization is the process of converting vector graphics (mathematical shapes) into raster images (pixel grids). This is necessary when displaying SVG, PDF, or font glyphs on pixel-based screens or exporting to bitmap formats.

Color Space

Color Space (Color Model)

A color space is a specific organization of colors that defines the gamut (range) of representable colors. sRGB is the web standard, Adobe RGB covers more greens and cyans for print, and Display P3 serves modern wide-gamut displays.

Lossy Compression

Lossy Compression (Perceptual Data Reduction)

Lossy compression achieves much smaller file sizes by permanently discarding image data that is less perceptible to human vision. JPEG, WebP lossy, and AVIF use this approach to achieve 10:1 to 50:1 compression ratios.

Bit Depth

Bit Depth (Color Depth / Bits Per Pixel)

Bit depth determines the number of possible color values each pixel can represent. Higher bit depths allow more colors and smoother gradients: 8-bit provides 256 values per channel (16.7M colors), while 16-bit provides 65,536.

Vector Graphics

Vector Graphics (Resolution-Independent Graphics)

Vector graphics represent images as mathematical descriptions of geometric shapes, paths, and text rather than pixel grids. They scale to any size without quality loss, making them ideal for logos, icons, and illustrations.

Raster Graphics

النظام الثنائي (الأساس 2)

نظام عددي يستخدم الأساس 2 (الأرقام 0 و1 فقط)، وهو التمثيل الأساسي للبيانات في أنظمة الحاسوب. كل رقم ثنائي (بت) يمثل حالة تشغيل/إيقاف.

Image Interpolation

Image Interpolation (Pixel Resampling)

Image interpolation is the method used to calculate new pixel values when resizing an image. Different algorithms (nearest-neighbor, bilinear, bicubic, Lanczos) trade speed for quality when scaling images up or down.

ICC Profile

ICC Profile (International Color Consortium Profile)

An ICC profile is a standardized data file that characterizes a color device (monitor, printer, scanner) or color space. Embedding ICC profiles in images ensures that colors are reproduced accurately across different devices.

Convolution

Convolution (Image Filter Kernel Operation)

Convolution is the fundamental operation behind image filters like blur, sharpen, and edge detection. A small matrix (kernel) slides across the image, computing weighted sums of neighboring pixels to produce the output.

Canvas

Canvas (Image Working Area)

In image editing, the canvas is the total working area that defines the boundaries of the image. Resizing the canvas adds or removes space around the existing image content without scaling it.

DPI/PPI

DPI/PPI (Dots/Pixels Per Inch)

DPI (dots per inch) and PPI (pixels per inch) measure image resolution density. PPI describes screen display density, while DPI refers to print output resolution. 72 PPI is standard for web, 300 DPI for print.

Gamma

Gamma (Brightness Transfer Function)

Gamma describes the nonlinear relationship between pixel values and displayed brightness. A gamma of 2.2 (the sRGB standard) means that pixel value 128 is not 50% brightness but approximately 21.8%, matching human perception.
