The document discusses image resolution and pixel resolution. Higher resolution means more image detail. It also discusses vector and raster images, with vector graphics using geometric primitives and raster graphics using pixels in a grid. Common file formats are described like BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, JPG, PSD, PDF, EPS and AI. Digital asset management involves ingestion, annotation, cataloging, storage, retrieval and distribution of digital assets like photos, videos and music.

1. Pixel and Resolution
Image resolution is the detail an image holds. The term applies to
raster digital images, film images, and other types of images.
Higher resolution means more image detail.
Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Basically,
resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still
be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes
(e.g. lines per mm, lines per inch), to the overall size of a picture
(lines per picture height, also known simply as lines, TV lines, or
TVL), or to angular subtenant. Line pairs are often used instead of
lines; a line pair comprises a dark line and an adjacent light line. A
line is either a dark line or a light line. A resolution 10 lines per
millimeter means 5 dark lines alternating with 5 light lines, or 5
line pairs per millimeter (5 LP/mm). Photographic lens and film
resolution are most often quoted in line pairs per millimeter.
VECTOR AND RASTER IMAGES
Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points,
lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on
mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer
graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors (also called paths, or
strokes) which lead through locations called control points. Each of
these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work
plan. Each point, as well, is a variety of database, including the
location of the point in the work space and the direction of the
vector (which is what defines the direction of the track). Each track
can be assigned a color, a shape, a thickness and also a fill.
ILE FORMATS AND USES - bmp, png, gif, tiff, jpg,
psd, pdf, eps and ai
BMP
The BMP file format, also known as bitmap image file or device
independent bitmap (DIB) file format or simply a bitmap, is a raster
graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images,
independently of the display device (such as a graphics adapter),
especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.

2. PNG
Portable Network Graphics (PNG /ˈpɪŋ/[2] ping), or PNG's Not GIF, is
a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data
compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented
replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most
used lossless image compression format on the Internet.

3. GIF
The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF
is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in
1987[1] and has since come into widespread usage on the World
Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.
TIFF
TIFF (originally standing for Tagged Image File Format) is a file
format for storing images, popular among graphic artists, the
publishing industry, and both amateur and professional
photographers in general. As of 2009, it is under the control of
Adobe Systems. Originally created by the company Aldus for use
with "desktop publishing", the TIFF format is widely supported by
image-manipulation applications, by publishing and page layout
applications, and by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical
character recognition and other applications. Adobe Systems, which
acquired Aldus, now holds the copyright to the TIFF specification.

4. PSD
A .PSD file is a layered image file used in Adobe PhotoShop. PSD,
which stands for Photoshop Document, is the default format that
Photoshop uses for saving data. PSD is a proprietary file that allows
the user to work with the images’ individual layers even after the
file has been saved.
pdf
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format used to represent
documents in a manner independent of application software,
hardware, and operating system.[1] Each PDF file encapsulates a
complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the
text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it. In
1991, Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system
called "Camelot"[2] that evolved into PDF.

5. eps
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a DSC-conforming PostScript document
with additional restrictions which is intended to be usable as a graphics file
format. In other words, EPS files are more-or-less self-contained, reasonably
predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing and can
be placed within another PostScript document. Simply, an EPS file is a
PostScript program, saved as a single file that includes a low-resolution
preview "encapsulated" inside of it, allowing some programs to display a
preview on the screen.

6. ai
Adobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a proprietary file format developed by
Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either
the EPS or PDF formats. The .ai filename extension is used by Adobe
Illustrator.

7. Compression
Compression is the reduction in size of data in order to save space or
transmission time. For data transmission, compression can be performed on
just the data content or on the entire transmission unit (including header
data) depending on a number of factors.
Image capture devices
Capture is the process or means of obtaining and storing external data,
particularly images or sounds, for use at a later time. There are various ways
in which this can be done; the best method depends on the application.

8. Optimizing
By the simplest definition, optimization is the process of making something
better. To optimize a process is to improve upon it.

9. STORAGE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT
Digital asset management (DAM) consists of management tasks and
decisions surrounding the ingestion, annotation, cataloguing, storage,
retrieval and distribution of digital assets. Digital photographs, animations,
videos and music exemplify the target areas of media asset management (a
sub-category of DAM)
