  3. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    Transparency (graphic) 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. Only part of a graphic should be fully transparent, or there would be nothing to see.

  4. Image file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_format

    The PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file format was created as a free, open-source alternative to GIF. The PNG file format supports 8-bit (256 colors) paletted images (with optional transparency for all palette colors) and 24-bit truecolor (16 million colors) or 48-bit truecolor with and without alpha channel – while GIF supports only 8-bit ...

    Website. developers.google.com /speed /webp. WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, [8] as well as animation and alpha transparency. Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable ...

  6. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    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 elements (pixels) in separate passes or layers and then combine the resulting 2D images into a single, final image called the composite.

  7. Indexed color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexed_color

    A 2-bit indexed color image. The color of each pixel is represented by a number; each number (the index) corresponds to a color in the color table (the palette).. In computing, indexed color is a technique to manage digital images' colors in a limited fashion, in order to save computer memory and file storage, while speeding up display refresh and file transfers.

  8. RGBA color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGBA_color_model

    RGBA stands for red green blue alpha. While it is sometimes described as a color space, it is actually a three-channel RGB color model supplemented with a fourth alpha channel. Alpha indicates how opaque each pixel is and allows an image to be combined over others using alpha compositing, with transparent areas and anti-aliasing of the edges of ...

  9. Help : How to reduce colors for saving a JPEG as PNG

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:How_to_reduce_colors...

    Making an image that was incorrectly saved as JPEG fit for saving as PNG. Suppose you have a map for an island that was inadvertently saved as JPEG. Looks OK, if a bit fuzzy. 1. In your bitmap graphics editor, set your fuzzy selection ("magic wand") tool so that it only will select pixels of exactly the same color. (Here: Threshold = 0) 2.
