Pixelation/Pixelated – A state of an image where its pixels are distinguishable by simply looking at it.More pixels mean finer image details and better quality. Pixels (Picture Element) – It is the smallest element that makes up an image and is normally indistinguishable by eye.Lossless – A compression method that reduces the file size of an image without sacrificing quality.Lossy – An irreversible compression method that involves sacrificing image quality for a significantly reduced file size.Compression – This is the process of reducing the file size of an image as compared to its original form while not negatively affecting the image quality too much.Colors – For digital images, this literally defines how many colors a given image file type can support/represent.Here are some terminologies that will be used when talking about image file types to help smooth things along: ![]()
