Document Summary

Image capture: the digitizing of images for use in the graphic communications industry. We live in a continuous/analog tone world. But graphic communications is not continuous tone. Although as designers, our goal is to make it look continuous. There are two common ways we can digitize images for graphic communications. Almost all photography for graphic communications is now shot on digital cameras (about 90-95%) Raw images: unprocessed image data (hasn"t been modified in any way) Consumer - low cost (-), point and shoot, limited settings, no. Raw images, limited manual operation, shoot jpegs, lenses with small diameters (less light can go through which is why they don"t do well in the dark), has a fixed lens (can"t swap), no viewfinder, small image sensor. Prosumer - moderate cost (-), swappable lenses, more settings, raw images, more manual operation, entry-level high end cameras, can add things to make it more versatile, made of plastic, light.
