Digital Images

Before this section on digital images, I had a very basic understanding of digital images; although at the time, I thought I knew a lot about the topic. I knew how to take, upload, scan, screenshot, crop, and adjust contrast and color; I did not realize this was only part of the information out there about digital images.

Through this class and the projects we have done with digital images, I have learned about the different file types: JPEG, GIFF, TIFF, and PNG. By using Picasa and Google Drive to create slideshows and presentations, I learned how to adjust resolution and picture size by inches or pixels.

There is still one thing I would like to know about digital images. All the work we have done in class has been on Mac computers, but adjusting size and resolution works a little different on a PC. Since I have a PC, it would be beneficial to know how to make these changes on my own computer. I have figured out how to adjust the size in the program paint, but I have been unsuccessful in trying to adjust the resolution.

I don’t see how I could teach without using digital images. They help enhance and clarify content. I will likely use digital images in every subject area throughout instruction. 

Here is a slideshow I created in Picasa Web Album.
