Image Modes
Last lesson we also learnt about image modes, Lea drilled into us that RGB is the most desired mode to work in, and should only be changed into another mode such as CYMK for printing purposes. Below are some examples of the modes!
RGB
- Refers to Red, Green and Blue
- primary image mode for graphics
CYMK
- Mixture of colours to create images
- Generally RGB images must be converted to CYMK for printing, However some of the brightness of RGB images are lost.
GRAYSCALE
- Includes actual shades of grey
- pixels are made up of white grey and black shades
DUOTONE
- You can convert a grayscale image to a duotone image (2 colours)
- easy way to add colour to a black and white image
BITMAP
- Made up of pure black and white pixels with no shades of grey
