Lab 13: Fundamentals of Digital Images

Description: Using digital images on the computer is probably one of the most appealing reasons to integrate digital multimedia into the classroom. It's very easy to find illustrations and pictures on web sites to represent course material, copy and paste clip art into a word document or a powerpoint presentation as part of a lesson, or use digital cameras or scanners to get original images onto the computer to later manipulate with a variety of software options. The list of possible uses of digital images in the classroom is only limited by your imagination, and possibly your knowledge of how digital images work.

So how do digital images work on a computer? What are they made of? And why should I bother to know this information? To answer the last question is simple. Knowing how digital images work is to know how to better implement them and use them in a variety of ways. For instance: What differences exist when preparing an image for a web site versus printing to an inkjet printer? Why do all these different file formats for images exist for images such as .jpg, .gif, .png, and .tif? And how do I choose which file format to use?

Lab Procedure:

1. Estimating the pixel dimensions of a digital image.
  • Open a web browser and find a photo that you like from a newspaper's web site such as cnn.com , nytimes.com , or foxnews.com .
  • Right-Click the mouse on the image you like and Select Copy.
  • Open a new word document and Select Edit>Paste. The image should now be in your word document.
  • Measure in inches the width and height of your image and type these dimensions under the image.
  • Estimate the pixels per inch (ppi) displayed by your monitor. Measure the monitor width and height in inches. Check the screen resolution setting, in the "Display Properties" control panel. Type the monitor dimensions in inches, screen resolution in pixels, and calculate the estimated ppi rounded to the nearest whole number.
  • Using the ppi that you have estimated and the measured width and height in inches of your pasted photo, calculate the pixel dimensions of the photo.
  • Copy and paste a second photo from a web site. Again measure the width and height in inches, and calculate the pixel dimensions of the photo using your estimated ppi.
2. Save your word document with your last name and the lab number (jones_lab13.doc).

3. Send your word document to my AC230 Digital Dropbox on York’s Blackboard. The subject line should give your name and the lab number (Frank Jones Lab 13).

The goal of Clomid remedial programme in treating infertility is to establish conformist ovulation sooner than origin the growth of numerous eggs. In olden days ovulation is established, there is no gain to increasing the dosage aid .
