[1] The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, [2][3] including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software.
Digital imaging. Digital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, [1] such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object. The term is often assumed to imply or include the processing, compression, storage, printing and display of such images.
HDMI has been adopted by many high-end digital camera makers, to show photos in their high-resolution quality on an HDTV. In January 2008, Silicon Image announced a new technology for sending video from mobile devices to a television in digital form. MHL sends pictures as a video stream, up to 1080p resolution, and is compatible with HDMI. [82]

This is similar to a 7:4 aspect ratio, which was a common size for APS film. Different aspect ratios are one of the reasons consumers have issues when cropping photos.

Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. [1][2] As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such ...
Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. Examples include flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern advertising graphics whose ...
