Animated Gif - Set of pictures saved in one GIF-compressed document. When the document is opened, the pictures are shown in a predetermined sequence and speed.
JPEG - In computing, JPEG (, ) (named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group who created the standard) is a commonly used method of lossy compression for photographic images. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.
Pixel - The smallest discrete component of an image or picture on a CRT screen (usually a colored dot); "the greater the number of pixels per inch the greater the resolution".
BMP - The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format (for device-independent bitmap), is an image file format used to store bitmap digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
Flip - T
o toss or put in motion with a sudden impulse, as with a snap of a finger and thumb, especially so as to cause to turn over in the air.
Video Card - A video card, video adapter, graphics-accelerator card, display adapter or graphics card is an expansion card whose function is to generate and output images to a display.
Crop - Computer wise, To trim the edges to produce a smaller picture whilst keeping the same scale. ie cutting bits off.
Mirror - Computer wise, a mirror is an exact copy of a data set. i. e On the internet there can be a site with the exact crednetials.
FPS (frames per second) - Frame rate, or frame frequency, is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to computer graphics, video cameras, film cameras, and motion capture systems.
Frame - a single one of a series of still transparent pictures forming a cinema, television or video film.
Morph - cause to change shape in a computer animation; "The computer programmer morphed the image".
CPU - central processing unit: (computer science) the part of a computer (a microprocessor chip) that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached".
DPI - Is an abbreviation for dots (or pixels) per inch, a measure of the resolution of graphic displays.
Resolution - The number of pixels per square inch on a computer-generated display; the greater the resolution, the better the picture.
File extension - A filename extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents.
Compression - A filename extension is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents.
Frame Buffer - A buffer that stores the contents of an image pixel by pixel.
Colour Depth - Color depth or bit depth, is a computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image or video frame buffer. This concept is also known as bits per pixel (bpp), particularly when specified along with the number of bits used.
