*facepalm* There's a code on the front page, and you need to put that in a code. Learn to listen., or rather...read.

 

 

 

Here's my entry to this. It should come under file type:

[b].APNG[/b] A very new format, a derivative of PNG, which supports 8-bit transparency and 24 bit color. Like PNG, it is not compressed at all. It is also backwards compatible with its non-animated counterpart, so if your browser does not support it you will see the first frame instead of the animation.

Alpha (Gimp)|definitionhere|

 

By SirHemen

 

 

 

What does Alpha mean in GIMP terms?

 

 

 

I really hope someone can answer that as i keep seeing "Alpha" quite alot: and seeing "Alpha Channel" makes you think "What...?".

 

 

 

Also: Here is link to GIMP talk FAQ and some word descriptions

Hmm. This is more a q&a now. Should update this... Idk what it means, but alpha channels makes none transparent bits to your foreground colour. Alpha to selection is pwn though. Soa told me all about this.

GIMP uses by default 3 or 4 channels, IE a RGBA color model:

 

  1. [*:onmhswg2]Red
     
    [*:onmhswg2]Green
     
    [*:onmhswg2]Blue
     
    [*:onmhswg2](Alpha)

 

Those of you that have done this in physics will know that red light and green light make yellow light, etc. The alpha channel is basically a mandatory layer mask: It uses grayscale to indicate the opacity of the selected pixel. There are other color models too, the most common being those that printers use, and Photoshop has very good support for; CMYK.

 


  1.  
    [*:onmhswg2]Cyan
     
    [*:onmhswg2]Magenta
     
    [*:onmhswg2]Yellow
     
    [*:onmhswg2]Key (Black)

 

This uses the physical color model, if you mix yellow (Like yellow paint) and cyan (Blue paint), you get green. If you mix cyan, magenta, and yellow, you are supposed to get black, but instead you usually get a very dark brown. That's where key comes in, it gives a true, dark black that the others can't achieve while still giving good color.

[b]Pdn[/b]Paint dot net, and it is respectively the default save file of this program. Though, it's always better to save as .bmp, .jpg or .gif, depending on what you need.

I thought that would help a bit.

Render A render is a picture with its background cut out. This makes signature making easier.

 

By ThruItAll

 

It's worth adding the original (and, in the world of computer graphics, much more commonly used) understanding of the word in the field of computer graphics.

Huh? Uncompressed images are huge. PNG supports both 8-bit and 24-bit, and it also is compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm (same algorithm used in zlib). APNG is a PNG that supports animation.

Paint a default program used often for basic pixelling and 'nooby' drawings, usually looks like scribbles, also good for saving pictures.
