EVALUATION Slide 2 LO: Understand how a digital image is made up and be able to recognise the affect changing the resolution has on an image. 1. WHAT IS A DIGITAL IMAGE? Slide 3 Types of Digital Image Two main types: Bitmap Vector Were focussing on bitmap in this topic as were looking at photographs. Slide 4 Who knows how images on a computer are made up? Bitmap images are made up of lots of pic ture el ements Also known as... Pixels Bitmap Images Slide 5 Open the Pixel Drawing spreadsheet and complete the first activity. 1 = part of the image is showing 0 = empty box 8x8 Pixel Drawing Slide 6 Whats happened to our image? It is pixelated (the image is made up of large blocks instead of smooth lines) The same thing happens when you copy small or low quality images from the Internet and try to enlarge them. Whos done that before? Whats happened? Slide 7 Is it any better if we use 16x16 pixels? Try the same thing on the 16x16 grid in the spreadsheet. Any better?... Why? 16x16 Pixel Drawing Slide 8 The number of pixels we use is known as the resolution. So, what affect did increasing the resolution have? On average, computer screens are 1,366 x 768 pixels which means we can display images from the computer using 1,049,088 pixels! Resolution 1,366 768 Slide 9 Comparing mobile phones, on which phone will pictures look better? Why? Comparing Resolutions iPhone 5S Resolution = 1136 x 640 at 326ppi Galaxy S4 Resolution = 1920 x 1080 at 441ppi Lumia 925 Resolution = 1280 x 768 at 334ppi Slide 10 In a new Word document answer the following questions in FULL sentences: 1. On which phone will pictures look better and why? 2. What does PPI stand for and what does it mean? 3. Digital cameras use the term Megapixels', explain what this means. EXTENSION: Take a small image from the Internet and stretch it so it becomes pixelated. Explain what is happening here. Lesson 1 Questions iPhone 5S Resolution = 1136 x 640 at 326ppi Galaxy S4 Resolution = 1920 x 1080 at 441ppi Lumia 925 Resolution = 1280 x 768 at 334ppi Slide 11 LO: Understand how a computer displays coloured images using binary and RGB values. 2. PIXELS EVERYWHERE Slide 12 Adding Some Colour Slide 13 So are four colours enough? NO! Nowadays we use 24 bits per pixel to store an amount of red, an amount of green and an amount of blue. These are combined to make other colours: How Much Colour? Red = 255Blue = 204 Green = 103 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 24 bits (Also known as Truecolour) Slide 14 1. Open Paint 2. Select Edit Colours and choose a colour you like. 3. What are the red, green and blue values for that colour? Try This! Slide 15 Mystery Image Whats this a picture of? Slide 16 That is exactly how images are displayed on screens. Heres a microscopic picture of an iPhone screen: Screens use coloured LEDs to display an amount of red, an amount of green and an amount of blue. Sound familiar? Images on Screen Slide 17 Try this 1. Take out your mobile phones. 2. Use the camera to take a photo of your computer screen (get as close as you can but make sure the picture is in focus). 3. Now zoom in on the picture. 4. Can you see the individual LEDs? Slide 18 In a new Word document answer the following questions in FULL sentences: 1. What is Pixel Depth? 2. How many bits per pixel are required for a monochrome (black & white) image? 3. What is the pixel depth of Truecolour? 4. Which three colours are used to make all other colours on a computer? 5. Explain the process, in your own words, of how a computer takes an image and displays it on the screen. EXTENSION: If an image that is 1024x768 is stored on the computer with 24 bits per pixel, how much storage space would be needed?

COLLATE THE PICS Slide 29 Collating the Pictures Create a presentation to display the images you have created to form a portfolio. Beside each picture explain what the purpose was and what tools you used in Photoshop to create the picture. EXTENSION: Add a slide to your presentation to explain: How you adhered to Copyright when you collected online images. What is Copyright? Slide 30 LO: Know how to put together a questionnaire to collect suitable feedback for a portfolio of images. 7. COLLECTING FEEDBACK Slide 31 We need to collect feedback about the portfolio we have created. What kind of questions should we ask? Collecting Feedback Were the techniques well explained? Are the images convincing? Is the layout of the portfolio suitable? What improvements are needed? Which image is best? Why? Slide 32 Create a questionnaire with at least 10 questions to gather useful and suitable feedback about your portfolio.
