Glossary
Bits are small units of computer memory. The color depth of your image is constrained by the number of bits available to store
color information. For example, it is possible to store 256 different color values per color channel in 8-bit RGB images. Similarly,
it is possible to store 65,536 different color values per color channel in 18-bit images.
blackpoint
An image’s darkest area. You can control the intensity of the black in an image by adjusting its blackpoint.
blend modes
Filters that change the effect of a tool or the appearance of a selected object.
brightness
Light intensity of an image. You can make an image appear brighter or darker by adjusting its brightness.
C
cache
High-speed storage mechanism. The ACD Systems Database is a cache.
caption
Text associated with a file, or a comment or description added to a printed image.
cataloging
Adding file information to the ACDSee 14 database.
category
Assign categories to photos to help sort and manage them more easily.
chromatic aberration
A lens artifact that can result in fringes in high contrast areas of some photos.
CMYK
Color model that uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (key) as its primary colors.
color cast
Changes the hue of an image while keeping the saturation and brightness intact. For example, many digital cameras produce
pictures with a slightly blue color cast. ACDSee 14 includes a tool that removes an unwanted color cast.
color channel value
Contains all pixel information for a single color. A grayscale image has one channel, while an RGB image has three channels. You
can adjust RGB values when editing a color.
color gamut
Range of colors that a device such as a printer or monitor can produce or display.
color management
Process of adjusting your computer settings so that the color output from your printer matches the colors you see on your
monitor.
color space
There are two types of color spaces: device-independent or device-dependent. A device-independent color space, such as RGB,
describes all possible colors. A device-dependent color space describes the subset of colors (from the device-independent color
space) that a particular device can reproduce. Device-dependent color spaces are used to map colors between devices (for
example, from a monitor to a printer) to ensure that colors are reproduced accurately.
