TERMINOLOGY & VOCABULARY

Curriculum
(web)- The term curriculum refers to the lessons and academic content taught in a school or in a specific course or program. An individual teacher’s curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course.
GIF File Extension
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
Lossless File Compression
(web)- Lossless and lossy compression are terms that describe whether or not, in the compression of a file, all original data can be recovered when the file is uncompressed. With lossless compression, every single bit of data that was originally in the file remains after the file is uncompressed.
Metalsmithing
(video)- A metalsmith or simply smith is a craftsman fashioning useful items (for example, tools, kitchenware, tableware, jewelry, and weapons) out of various metals. Smithing is one of the oldest metalworking occupations.
Nondestructive Editing
(web)- Nondestructive editing allows you to make changes to an image without overwriting the original image data, which remains available in case you want to revert to it. Because nondestructive editing doesn’t remove data from an image, the image quality doesn’t degrade when you make edits.
Photojournalism
(web)- A particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story.
"Pique Your Interest"
- The verb pique means to make someone angry or annoyed. But when something piques your interest or curiosity, here the verb pique just means to arouse, stimulate, or excite.
PNG File Extension
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
Resolution (Screen or Display Resoltuion)
(wikipedia)- The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels (also see "resolution" under "adobe tools and terminology")

Adjustments Panel (in Photoshop)
(web)- The tools for making color and tonal adjustments can be found in the Adjustments panel. Clicking a tool icon both selects an adjustment and automatically creates an adjustment layer. The adjustments you make using the controls and options in the Adjustments panel create nondestructive adjustment layers. (see "nondestructive editing" below)
Brush Tool (in Photoshop)
(web)- Adobe Photoshop provides several tools for painting and editing image color. The Brush tool and the Pencil tool work like traditional drawing tools applying color with brush strokes.
Color Picker Tool (in Photoshop)
(web)- Use the Adobe Color Picker to set the foreground color, background color, and text color. You can also set target colors for different tools, commands, and options.
Image Size (in Photoshop)

Layer Mask (in Photoshop)
(web)- You can add a mask to a layer and use the mask to hide portions of the layer and reveal the layers below. Masking layers is a valuable compositing technique for combining multiple photos into a single image or for removing a person or object from a photo.
Layers Panel (in Photoshop)
(web)- Photoshop layers are like sheets of stacked acetate. You can see through transparent areas of a layer to the layers below.
