Color Calibration - A system of software and/or hardware that matches the colors between two or more digital devices. Color calibration systems commonly compare device color profiles and translate one color model into a device-independent language that the next color device can use.

Aperture - This is the opening in the lens that controls how much light goes through to the film. Apertures are marked in f/stops. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture.

Color Separation - The electronic or photographic process of separating a single RGB color image into the three subtractive primary colors CMY plus K (black) that will be used for reproduction. These four monochrome films are used to produce the plates in four color printing.

35mm equivalency - What a digital lens would be equivalent to in terms of a 35mm film SLR camera. Used as a standard for discussing the field of view and magnification power of a lens. In 35mm equivalency, lenses over 50mm are telephoto, whereas lenses below 50mm are wide-angle or fisheye lens. In a digital SLR, a mirror placed in front of the focal plane (where the image sensor sits) bounces the light that comes from the lens upward into a prism and then out the eyepiece. When you press the shutter button, the mirror flips up out of the way so the light can pass to the focal plane.

Artificial Intelligence - The use of computers to solve problems and process information in ways that approximate human thought.

Data - The numbers that make up a digital file.

Chrominance - The portions of a signal that are dedicated to describing the hue and saturation. Used in measuring the difference between two colors of equal brightness.

BPI (Bits Per Inch) - A term defining the density of data in a bitmap image.

Chroma - The hue or color information associated with an image.

Color Model - Refers to the component colors used in the image, such as RGB or CMYK. This is also called a Color Space or Color System.

RAW - One of the image formats available on some advanced digital cameras. RAW images are large, usually uncompressed files that, unlike JPEGs, are not processed by the camera and retain all their original data. RAW images are ideal for those who plan on editing their pictures with image-editing software. RAW images may require special software to turn them into a more common format like TIFF or JPEG.
