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.

Barrel Distortion - Image distortion that spreads the center dimensions of the picture.

Calibration - A process of setting digital imaging components to standardized settings that will produce accurate and predictable results in the output.

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.

Film Speed - The relative index, also called ISO, of how much light a film requires to be properly exposed. A 100 ISO film requires four times the light of a 400 ISO (speed) film for correct exposure. Rule of thumb - Dull day-high speed, bright day-low speed

Kelvin - A temperature measuring scale used to describe the color of light. The lower the color temperature the redder the light, and the higher the color temperature the bluer the light.

Wide Angle Lens - Lenses with a focal length that is less than 50mm for 35mm cameras and gives a wider field of view.
