IMAGE EDITING AND

MANIPULATION
Different File Extension Formats

JPG EPS
TIFF SVG
PNG AI
GIF PSD
PDF INDD
JPG

 (also known as JPEG) stands for “Joint Photographic Experts Group,” and is the standard for
photographs and images that are compressed to hold a large amount of information. JPGs are
files of larger images that have been compressed to a smaller size. Typically, this is the file
extension that most cameras use to store photos and are the types of images used on the web.

 Due to its compressed state, a JPG is described to have “lossy” compression. Meaning, that a
JPG file will lose some of the image detail during compression in order to make the file small.
The compressed JPG files are poor for printing but are ideal for using on the web due to their
ease of upload.

 While you can save a high-quality JPG for some printing, we highly recommend that you use
other high-quality file formats (like PDFs) when printing.
TIFF

 or Tagged Image File Format, create extremely large files. Unlike the JPGs, TIFFs are
uncompressed and thus contain a large amount of detailed data. As such, they can be
saved in all colors including greyscale, CMYK for print, or RGB for web).

 These types of files are commonly used in photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop
and page layout software such as Quark or Adobe InDesign. Due to their larger size, it
is best not to use TIFFs on the web as they will slow down the speed of your web page
— which is frowned upon by Google.
PNG

 (or Portable Network Graphics), are used exclusively on the web, never for printing.
PNGs are slightly larger than JPGs, so they’re not always ideal for larger images.
However, with PNGs you can save images with transparent backgrounds, which can be
extremely useful for design and marketing projects.

 Since PNGs are considered “lossless,” you can edit them without sacrificing quality –
but remember they are still low resolution and not used for printing.
GIF

 Graphic Interchange Format files (a.k.a. GIFs), compress images like JPGs but are
different for a few reasons. Primarily, GIFs can be saved as animated images.
Secondly, GIFs can be compressed but will still save at a larger size than JPGs.

 Additionally, GIFs have a limited color range, which make them suitable for web use
only.
PDF

 or Portable Document Format files, can be used for web and print interchangeably.
According to HubSpot, PDFs were designed by Adobe so users capture and review
documents and graphics on any device, application, operating system, or web browser.

 This type of file extension has a powerful vector graphics foundation, but can display
both vector and raster graphics, along with forms, spreadsheets, and more. Having
PDF versions of your file is important as this is the high-quality file format most
printing companies require from businesses.

 Whether you want to send someone a digital form to fill out line, or send them a
printable booklet, PDFs can display them all without sacrificing resolution/quality.
EPS

 EPS stands for Encapsulated PostScript. Primarily used for re-scalable vector images,
an EPS file can hold both vector and raster image data. You should always use EPS
(and SVG, which we discuss below) when designing a logo or clothing design, because
no matter the size, it will always display at the correct resolution.

 Although EPS files can include raster data, this type of file format is not used with
photographs or artwork and isn’t used to display images on the web.
SVG

 We could essentially combine the definition and uses of SVG files with the
aforementioned EPS files. They both retain image quality no matter how large or small
you display the image. SVGs, or Scalable Vector Graphics, are idea for responsive web
design, along with the same uses of EPS files.
AI, PSD and INDD

 AIs are Adobe Illustrator files that generate vector-based images. Designs created in
Illustrator can’t be edited using non-Adobe programs.

 PSD, or Adobe Photoshop files, contain images that are raster-based. Photoshop uses
layers to generate photos or graphics. A helpful way to understand how these original
design files work is that they are the uncompressed (or separately layered and
editable) versions of JPGs.

 INDD files. Adobe InDesign files are primarily used for desktop publishing projects.
INDD files can only be opened and edited in Adobe InDesign, so they are typically
saved to PDFs when sharing or sending to printers.
IMAGE EDITING
Image Editing

 Photo editing (also called post-processing or postproduction) is the process in digital


photography of making adjustments to photographs in a photo editing program. It's
digital photography's version of a darkroom, where photos can be tweaked after a
photography shoot.

Crop your images
and clean them
up.
 Straighten images: It’s always better to pay attention to be
sure your horizon is horizontal when you shoot, but
straightening is also an easy first editing step.
 Crop images: It’s best to crop to improve minor compositional
details, like distracting elements at the edge of the frame or
repositioning your subject slightly.
Spot-clean images: The outdoors is a dusty place and nature’s gritty elements have a
way of finding their way onto your camera lens, and then onto your photos. (Using a lens
brush regularly in the field cuts down on this.)
Most editing programs have a spot-removing tool. The name varies: “clone stamping” and
“spot healing” are two variations. Programs also let you change your view of a photo to
highlight the location of spots. Work your way methodically around your photo until you
have a spot-free image.
Adjust White
Balance.
 White balance relates to color levels, not exposure levels. If your image has an overall
color tone that you find displeasing or unnatural, you can adjust white balance to fix it.
Note that JPG files, because they capture far less digital data than RAW files, offer a
minimal amount of white balance adjustment during editing.
 Most editing programs let you pick from preset modes like “flash,” “daylight” or
“cloudy” to better calibrate the image for the lighting conditions when it was shot. In
addition, many have both a “temperature” and a “tint” slider that you can fiddle with
to fine-tune the overall lighting cast on an image.
Adjust exposure
and contrast.
 Adjusting exposure: This is the process of making the photo exactly as bright or dark
as you want. Note that “noise” (a mottled look) can sometimes be introduced when
you crank up the brightness. That’s why it’s always better to get the correct exposure
(one that’s sufficiently bright) when you first take the photo.
 Adjusting contrast: Contrast is the range of dark to light tones. When it’s extra high,
you see a stark image, where all tones, regardless of color, are either very dark or very
light. When it’s extra low, you see a flat image where no elements in the frame stand
out. Typically, you want a middle contrast that avoids either of those extremes. But if
you prefer either of those effects, you can adjust the contrast to achieve that.
Adjust color
vibrancy and
saturation.
 Once white balance is adjusted, you can further refine colors in your photos with the
saturation and vibrancy controls. The distinction between the two is subtle: Increasing
vibrancy increases color intensity in neutral color tones and maintains color intensity
in the brighter colors. Increasing saturation makes all colors throughout the frame
more intense. When bright colors pop, it can give the photo a more dramatic look.
Sharpen images.
 Sharpening an image gives it a crisper, cleaner look. Many programs offer multiple
sharpening tools. Begin by adjusting the overall amount of sharpness (on a scale from
0 to 100). Start at 50 percent, then adjust the level up or down to get the sharpness
you prefer.
