We try to leave jargon out of our videos, but if you want to learn more about this topic, here are some handy keywords to get your googling started:
– A raster graphics image is a digital image made of a grid of pixels
– Software able to edit raster graphics: Photoshop, Corel Painter, GIMP, Krita, etc.
– GIMP is free and open-source. Check them at https://www.gimp.org/
– Krita is also free and open-source. Check them at https://krita.org
– Pixel Art is a form of digital art where images are edited on the pixel level.
– Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture.
– Vector graphics images are made up of mathematical shapes and can be scaled as much as needed without loss in quality.
– Software able to edit vector graphics: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape, etc.
– Inkscape is free and open-source. Check them at https://inkscape.org/
– Jaggies is the informal name for artifacts in raster images, most frequently from aliasing.
– Anti-aliasing is the technique of minimizing the distortion artifacts known as aliasing.
– A graphics tablet is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images with a special pen-like stylus, similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil and paper.
– A clipping mask is an object whose shape masks other artwork so that only areas that lie within the shape are visible
– Blend modes (or Mixing modes) in digital image editing are used to determine how two layers are blended into each other. The blending modes I use more frequently are Multiply and Overlay.
