Color notes summary

            The 3 primary are red, yellow, and blue (red, blue, green for light). Secondary colors are two mixed primary colors; examples include green, purple, and orange. Tertiary colors are secondary colors mixing with other secondary or primary colors, to make things like teal, maroon, and lime green. Subtractive colors add up to make black, additive colors add up to white. Pigments are subtractive while light is additive. Color can affect our mood like how blue calms us and how red fires us up. It makes things more recognizable and memorable. Color can shift tones around othercolors depending on which color it is.

bus stuff

restrictive gif
24 png
8-128dithered png
With the bus pictures i feel about the same as the trees. No doubt that the worst quality is the restricted gif and I don't like it like the tree one. 24 png looks the best but is the biggest. the best for size and quality is probably the 8-128 dithered png because it looks the same as 24 png to me and with nearly 4 times smaller storage.

tree stuff

restrictive gif
24 png
8-128 dithered png
Of all the pictures, I feel these three are the ones to mention. the restrictive gif is defiantly the worst for quality, but i do kinda like it. 24 png is the best for quality, but is a huge file. 8-128 dithered is the best for a balance because it is very similar to 24 png, but with a fourth of its size.

same thing but with trees (still not sure about a lot of them)

bus, quality is left to right going down(i am really not sure about the quality for a lot of them)

basically some notes on file stuff

Intro to graphic file formats       peter christy

Understanding format choice and image compression

File formats
-all computer documents or files are packaged in different formats
-the format is based on the origin of the file
-graphic files such as photo, video, and artwork can be reduced in size

lossy vs lossless
-lossy makes it lose data and image quality but also  smaller
-lossless preserves quality but also is bigger

grapic formats
-tif, jpg and gif are the most common
-png is a common web format that has high quality and can be transparent
-each has its strengths and weaknesses

TIF
-tagged image file format
-common for desktop publishing
-lossless format
-can display in high quality but not safe for the web

JPG
-joint photographers expert group
-lossly format
-created for photos
-can reduce by 10:1 w/o significant side effects
-compression is ajustible
-many types of jpg
over compression
-if files are over compressed, they will lose quality
-some files will mess up your image if it is not compatible

GIF
-graphics interchange format
-best for flat color or even tone
-art and cartoons are great for this
-can change color bit level from 1-8
-reduces images by indexing color from channels from 1-3
-not printer friendly

rgb(red green blue):
formats: jpg, gif, png, sva

cmyk(cyan magenta yellow black):
formats: tiff, pict, bmp, ai, psd

contiguous or noncontigous pixles
-tif and jpg are best for contiguous, blending pixles
-gif is best for sharp not contiguous pixles
