Good sources of image files

Understanding Image formats
• Raster images (TIFF,
JPEG, GIF, PNG, PICT, BMP):
These types of images are
composed of pixels and are
dependant on resolution for
clarity (photos, line art, etc.)
• Vector images
(EPS): These types are images
are not dependant on resolution
and can be enlarged without
distortion.

What is CMYK and what is RGB?
The CMYK color model stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK. When a
color photo is printed it is literally separated into these four colors and printed one
color at a time. These four colors then combine to give you the full color image.
When a photograph is going to be reproduced on a traditional printing press or on
today’s digital presses or color printers, photos should be converted to CMYK format
prior to reproduction to ensure color accuracy.

The RGB color model stands for Red, Green and Blue. Files in RGB format
are intended for use on electronic systems like TVs, mobile phone displays and
computer monitors.
You’ve probably noticed that the colors of photos on different electronic devices
often look different—that is because each device reads the color breakdowns
differently. You don’t want this type of inconsistency in print.
