A sketch colored digitally with use of several different blend modes in order to preserve the pencil lines and paper texture below the color layers. Blend modes (alternatively blending modes[1] or mixing modes[2]) in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended with each other.
The GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly known by its acronym GIMP (/ ɡɪmp / GHIMP), is a free and open-source raster graphics editor [4] used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks. It is extensible by means of plugins, and ...
Layers are used in digital image editing to separate different elements of an image. A layer can be compared to a transparency on which imaging effects or images are applied and placed over or under an image. Today they are an integral feature of image editor. Layers were first commercially available in Fauve Matisse (later Macromedia xRes), [1 ...
A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1] It is often useful to render picture ...
Container for. Graphics. Open format? yes, but standard is ad hoc. XCF, short for eXperimental Computing Facility, [1] is the native image format of the GIMP image-editing program. It saves all of the data the program handles related to the image, including, among others, each layer, the current selection, channels, transparency, paths and guides.
Image editors can change the pixels to enhance the image in many ways. The pixels can be changed as a group or individually by the sophisticated algorithms within the image editors. This article mostly refers to bitmap graphics editors, which are often used to alter photographs and other raster graphics. However, vector graphics software, such ...
A PNG file contains a single image in an extensible structure of chunks, encoding the basic pixels and other information such as textual comments and integrity checks documented in RFC 2083. [7] PNG files have the ".png" file extension and the "image/png" MIME media type. [8] PNG was published as an informational RFC 2083 in March 1997 and as ...
Transparency (graphic) GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats. The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.
