Many image formats are native to one specific graphics application and are not offered as an export option in other software, due to proprietary considerations. An example of this is Adobe Photoshop 's native PSD-format (Prevention of Significant Deterioration), which cannot be opened in less sophisticated programs for image viewing or editing ...
A 2.35:1 film still panned and scanned to smaller sizes. At the smallest, 1.33:1 (4:3), nearly half of the original image has been cropped. Pan and Scan is a film editing methodology of adjusting widescreen film images to render them compatible for broadcast on 4:3 aspect ratio television screens. It primarily involves cropping the sides of the ...
A television set with the 16:9 image ratio. 16:9 is a widescreen aspect ratio with a width of 16 units and height of 9 units. Once seen as an "exotic" aspect ratio, [1] since 2009, it has become the most common aspect ratio for televisions and computer monitors, and is also the universal standard image format for the universal 1080p, 2160p and ...
The term "SmileBox" is a registered trademark [4] used to describe a type of letter-boxing for Cinerama films, such as on the Blu-ray release of How the West Was Won.The image is produced by using a map projection-like technique to approximate how the picture might look if projected onto a curved Cinerama screen.
Original, Anamorphic and letterbox. Anamorphic widescreen (also called full-height anamorphic or FHA) is a process by which a widescreen image is horizontally compressed to fit into a storage medium (photographic film or MPEG-2 standard-definition frame, for example) with a narrower aspect ratio, reducing the horizontal resolution of the image while keeping its full original vertical resolution.
In actual images, these extra pixels are often partly or entirely black, as only the center 704 horizontal pixels carry actual 4:3 or 16:9 image. Hence, the actual pixel aspect ratio PAR for PAL video is a little different from that given by the formula, specifically 12:11 for PAL and 10:11 for NTSC.
Raster images include digital photos. A raster image is made up of rows and columns of dots, called pixels, [1] [2] and is generally more photo-realistic. This is the standard form for digital cameras; whether it be a .raw file or .jpg file, the concept is the same. The image is represented pixel by pixel, like a microscopic jigsaw puzzle.
It becomes necessary when film or video that was not originally designed for widescreen is shown on a widescreen display, or a narrower widescreen image is displayed within a wider aspect ratio, such as a 16:9 image in a 2.39:1 frame (common in cinemas). The original material is shrunk and placed in the middle of the widescreen frame.
