About bitmap images
Bitmap images; technically called raster images-are made up of a grid of dots known as pixels. When working with bitmap images, you edit pixels rather than objects or shapes. Bitmap images are the most common electronic medium for continuous-tone images, such as photographs or digital paintings, because they can represent subtle gradations of shades and color.
Bitmap images can lose detail when scaled on-screen because they are resolution-dependent, they contain a fixed number of pixels, and each pixel is assigned a specific location and color value. Bit mapped images can look jagged if they're printed at too low a resolution because the size of each pixel is increased.
About vector graphics
Vector graphics are made up of mathematically defined lines and curves called vectors. This means that you can move, resize, or change the color of a line without losing the quality of the graphic.
Vector graphics are resolution-independent--that is, they can be scaled to any size and printed at any resolution without losing detail or clarity. As a result, vector graphics are the best choice for representing bold graphics that must retain crisp lines when scaled to various sizes.
To change the pixel dimensions of an image:
1. Choose Image > Image Size.
2. To maintain the current proportions of pixel width to pixel height, select Constrain Proportions. This option automatically updates the width as you change the height, and vice versa.
3. Under Pixel Dimensions, enter values for Width and Height. To enter values as percentages of the current dimensions, choose Percent as the unit of measurement. The new file size for the image appears at the top of the Image Size dialog box, with the old file size in parentheses.
4. Make sure that Resample Image is selected, and choose an interpolation method.
6. When you're done setting options, click the OK button.
To view the print size on-screen:
1. Choose View > Print Size. Or, Select the Hand tool or Zoom tool, and click Print Size in the options bar.
To determine a suggested resolution for an image:
1. Choose Image > Image Size. Click Auto.
3. For Screen, enter the screen frequency for the output device. If desired, choose a new unit of measurement. Note that the screen value is used only to calculate the image resolution, not to set the screen for printing.
4. For Quality, select an option:
• Draft to produce a resolution the same as the screen frequency (no lower than 72 pixels per inch).
• Good to produce a resolution 1.5 times the screen frequency.
• Best to produce a resolution 2 times the screen frequency.
To open a file using the Open command:
1. Choose File > Open. Select the name of the file you want to open. Click Open.
To open a recently used file:
1. Choose File > Open Recent, and select a file from the submenu.
To specify the number of files that are available in the Open Recent submenu:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling.
2. Enter a number in the Recent File List Contains text box. Click OK.
To specify the file format in which to open a file:
1. Choose File > Open As, and select the file you want to open. Then choose the desired format from the Open As pop-up menu, and click Open.
An introduction to color management
RGB Color mode
Photoshop's RGB Color mode uses the RGB model, assigning an intensity value to each pixel ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white) for each of the RGB (red, green, blue) components in a color image.
RGB images use three colors, or channels, to reproduce colors on-screen. The three channels translate to 24 (8 bits x 3 channels) bits of color information per pixel. With 24-bit images, up to 16.7 million colors can be reproduced. With 48-bit images (16 bits per channel), even more colors can be reproduced.
Although RGB is a standard color model, the exact range of colors represented can vary, depending on the application or display device. Photoshop's RGB Color mode varies according to the working space setting that you have specified in the Color Settings dialog box.
CMYK Color mode
In Photoshop's CMYK mode, each pixel is assigned a percentage value for each of the process inks. The lightest (highlight) colors are assigned small percentages of process ink colors, the darker (shadow) colors higher percentages.
Use the CMYK mode when preparing an image to be printed using process colors. Converting an RGB image into CMYK creates a color separation. If you start with an RGB image, it's best to edit first in RGB and then convert to CMYK at the end of your process. You can also use CMYK mode to work directly with CMYK images scanned or imported from high-end systems.
Although CMYK is a standard color model, the exact range of colors represented can vary, depending on the press and printing conditions. Photoshop's CMYK Color mode varies according to the working space setting that you have specified in the Color Settings dialog box.
Lab Color mode
In Photoshop, the Lab Color mode has a lightness component (L) that can range from 0 to 100. In the Adobe Color Picker, the a component (green-red axis) and the b component (blue-yellow axis) can range from +127 to -128. In the Color palette, the a component and the b component can range from +120 to -120.
Lab images can be saved in Photoshop, Photoshop EPS, Large Document Format (PSB), PDF, Photoshop Raw, TIFF formats. 48-bit (16 bits per channel) Lab images can be saved in Photoshop, Large Document Format (PSB), Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, or TIFF formats.
Lab color is the intermediate color model Photoshop uses when converting from one color mode to another.
Bitmap mode
This mode uses one of two color values (black or white) to represent the pixels in an image. Images in Bitmap mode are called bitmapped 1-bit images because they have a bit depth of 1.
Grayscale mode
Grayscale mode uses up to 256 shades of gray. Every pixel of a grayscale image has a brightness value ranging from 0 (black) to 255 (white). Grayscale values can also be measured as percentages of black ink coverage (0% is equal to white, 100% to black). Images produced using black-and-white or grayscale scanners typically are displayed in Grayscale mode.
These guidelines apply to converting images to and from Grayscale mode:
• You can convert both Bitmap-mode and color images to grayscale.
• To convert a color image to a high-quality grayscale image, Photoshop discards all color information in the original image. The gray levels (shades) of the converted pixels represent the luminosity of the original pixels.
• When converting from grayscale to RGB, the color values for a pixel are based on its previous gray value. A grayscale image can also be converted to a CMYK image or to a Lab color image.
To select a color display option:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors.
2. Select Use Diffusion Dither to minimize dither patterns produced by dithering.
To convert an image to another mode:
1. Choose Image > Mode and the mode you want from the submenu. Modes not available for the active image appear dimmed in the menu.
2. Images are flattened when converted to Multichannel, Bitmap, or Indexed Color mode, because these modes do not support layers.
To adjust tonal range using Levels:
1. Choose Image > Adjustments > Levels. Or, Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
2. To adjust tones for a specific color channel, choose an option from the Channel menu.
3. To adjust the shadows and highlights manually, drag the black and white Input Levels sliders to the edge of the first group of pixels on either end of the histogram. Moving the middle slider adjusts the image gamma. Click OK.
To open the Curves dialog box:
1. Choose Image > Adjustments > Curves. Or, Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
2. To make the Curves grid finer, hold down Alt, and click the grid. Alt -click again to make the grid larger.
To use the Color Balance command:
1. Choose Image > Adjustments > Color Balance. Or, choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
2. Select Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights to select the tonal range on which you want to focus the changes.
4. Select Preserve Luminosity to prevent changing the luminosity values in the image while changing the color. This option maintains the tonal balance in the image.
5. Drag a slider toward a color you want to increase in the image; drag a slider away from a color you want to decrease in the image.
To use the Brightness/Contrast command:
1. Choose Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast. Or, Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast. Click OK in the New Layer dialog box.
2. Drag the sliders to adjust the brightness and contrast.
To use the Variations command:
1. Choose Image > Adjustments > Variations.
2. Select the Show Clipping option if you want to display a neon preview of areas in the image that will be clipped--converted to pure white or pure black-- by the adjustment.
3. Select what to adjust in the image:
• Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights to indicate whether you want to adjust the dark, middle, or light areas.
• Saturation to change the degree of hue in the image. If you exceed the maximum saturation for a color, it may be clipped.
4. Drag the Fine/Coarse slider to determine the amount of each adjustment. Moving the slider one tick mark doubles the adjustment amount.
5. Adjust the color and brightness:
• To add a color to the image, click the appropriate color thumbnail.
• To subtract a color, click the thumbnail for its opposite color.
• To adjust brightness, click a thumbnail on the right side of the dialog box.
To sharpen a selection:

Some common problem and their solution in computer.

2010-04-14T15:54:00.000-07:00

Your Problem our solution

You can get different kinds of problem time to time in your computer. You can face both problem hardware and software. You can get small and big problem. For advance problem you need specialist but for minor problem you can solve by yourself . Every user should know the basic problem and their solution. If you don’t know the basic knowledge of maintenance than you should suffer more problem by paying much money and another thing is that minor problem can let you to disturb your valuable work and you should get mental pressure. In computer mainly you can get mental pressure. Mainly you can get following problems in your computer.

Taking time for opening computer.

Hanging computer

Computer responding slowly.

No display in monitor

DVD drive not working

Drive are not opening while double clicking

Virus problem

Hanging mouse

Hanging keyword

Sometime windows not responding

Sound not coming

Folder properties, task bar properties etc are not opening

Run, search command are not coming

While opening you can get different error messange

While opening computer, you can hear different kinds of sound beep etc

These problems are minor and if you know the basic terms than you can easily solve that problem.
For solving the problem, there are four point you should remember and that point are given below.

First check the all cable like data cable, power cable because several computer problem are related to cable.
Think problem are related with what like in your monitor if mouse does not move than what will you do ? if you have another mouse than try it ?
For being sure mouse is main problem. Checkout with key board arrow key that cursor is moving or not.
Note down the error message of computer . if your computer gives an error message that note it how much you can. This notes are important for future reference.
Write down your steps which you have done in your computer. Once you started doing repairing you should remember what you have done. If you don’t than write down.

Some steps are given below.

If you are using computer several time in a day and not using for sometime than I suggest you to not to close your computer every time better close It at the last moment for saving electricity close the monitor only. Closing and opening computer for several time than temperature cycle increase and decreases and due to this computer parts can not work for longtime, mainly Hard disk, CPU and memory if computer that goes in control way than it works for much time .

Suddenly power fall causes the running system to have problem and mainly to hard drive. So you should use UPS.

Take the backup of important data in CD or DVD

Time to time check the upper part that it is heated or not it heated than see that CPU fan and smps fan is working or not

Several problem and their solution
Freezing and hanging the problem

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL at a time.

You will get window task manager dialog box.

Select application tab and choose the program which you want to close from task.

Now press on end task button.

#Note = if you have to end several programs than repeat this process if freezing continue than restart computer.
Windows shutting down message not going.
Sometime when you do shutdown process than it becomes freezes and the message “windows is shutting down” continue sitting on screen. In this condition switching off computer is good option for that press power button for 10 seconds or press power button until your computer shutdown.
Suddenly re-starting computer

If your computer fan is not working properly and motherboard become heated than this problem takes place. Sometimes due to virus also this problem occur.
Solution:-

Keep computer In well ventilation place when air can come and go.
Clean the fan with air blower, never try with your mouth because the dust are harmful.
Scan your computer online or use anti virus software .
Don’t think that after switch on and plunging the power computer will work
For checking power supply, it is working or not, it is good to check with other SMPS than think……..

If ‘Microsoft windows.dll’ file removed than what to do ?
- First I will suggest you. If you have received only one missing error report than find .dll file in computer hope. You can copy .dllfile from another computer or today so many websites are there who provide this service. If you are having problem to open computer than open it in safe mode

Not valid win 32 application
This message will come as following.
C:/program files/my program/program.exe is not a valid win 32 application
Causes:-

if file corrupt or removed.

If there is virus, worm or malware in file.

If hardware incompatibility

Operating system not opening
If there is power in both computer and monitor than use boo table disk and restart your computer, if your computer opens with this disk than the problems is in your hard disk drive. Now you have to format your hard disk.
Some of application software not working

Go to start menu
Go to control panel.
Click on add or remove programs.
Choose the software which not working
Now click on remove button
You will be ask for conformation click on yes.
Now restart your computer
If you need that program than re-install again

No display in Monitor.

Check the power cable and other cable

Check out there is current in power cable or not.

Check the brightness controls button

Check weather the ram is well connected or not or remove it and fit it again.

If nothing happen than consult to specialist.

Problem and solution of SMPS(Switch Mode Power Supply)

The main part of casing is SMPS and Unfortunately the problem area is also this

Today mostly casing are made in china and Asian country's, where 220 voltage are used. The power supply of desktop computer are not living voltage with themselves after checking if the factory for got to rotate manual switch 110 volt than power supply will not work. So check the voltage setting at the backside of power supply.

Some computer name are missing from the entire network.

The network has elected a browser master that does'nt have all the protocols used by windows networking computer on your LAN. This is a random selection, so be sure to install and bind the same set of protocols on every workstation in your LAN.

Who would be intersted in my computer ?
Hackers are not at all interested in the public part of it. They are trying to find any kind of hole of lickage- a security breach- through which they can get into the rest of your computer or into your larger network. After they get inside, the hackers aim to gain access to valuable data and critical system function. Your credit cards might end up financing someone's excessive and dubious tastes. your website might become a trafficking center for stolen information or pornography. If your internet server is connected to internal networks, hackers may have a free ride deep inside your company. Even a single computer at home must have some thing worth using in future exploits.

Cannot uninstalled deep freeze
I had installed deep freeze, but it isn't getting uninstalled it does not show up in the control pannel or in the system tray.
One of the easiest ways is to tray installing the software once again and then removing it from the control panel. Also, look for an uninstallation application in the installation in the installation folder or within the start menu.

My system is attacked with Khatarnakh virus what to do ?

The khatarnakh virus spawned a process called khatra.exe and other two virus spawned ghost.exe and xplorer.exe
These virus have disabled my control panel and are not letting me change any setting.

solution
The virus problem is a little too complicated to get rid of manually. it would be easier to install an antivirus solution form kaspersky, ESET. You should use an antivirus to remove the infection. if all fails. you might have to do a clean install of windows.

My Ram not Recognised

My Pc configration is Biostar TA790GXBE motherboard and Athlon Z2245 with windows XP SP2. The problem is that my computer recognises only 768 MB ram instead of the 1GB installed.
solution:-
Most motherboards with on-board graphics use a part of the system memory as graphics memory. this has to be set from the BIOS itself. if you haven't chandged it, then it might bu using the default 256MB. we sugest upgrading to 2 GB of memory anyway.
Most canibets don't support HD audio on the front ports. you'll have to use the AC97 codec option in the BIOS and use connectors form the motherboard to the front panel for it to work.

Master and Slaves problems
My BIOS detects the hard drive. i'm unable to boot from the DVD drive. The HDD and the DVD drive are both IDE. I am using a single IDE cable to connect them. The DVD drive powers up properly and i can eject the tray normally.
Solution Make sure that the hard drive is set as the master drive and the DVD drive as slaves. Here. MA stands for Master. Sl for Slaves and CS for cable select. There cannot be two master drives or slave drives on a single IDE interface. A good 460 w PSU should be just about sufficient for your configuration. An additional hard drive shouldn't be a problem.

Windows Error
My desktop PC configuration is as follows:

Motherboard-GIGABYTE S series
Processor- Intel core 2 duo E7400
Ram-U max 1 GB
HDD-Seagate 250 GB
Moniter- Dell 18.5"

I have installed windows xp sp3 on my system. but after booting it started hanging. showing errors and was not able to access any application on my system. I reinstalled the OS but it failed , i would also like to know wheather i can install windows 7 on my system.
solution:-
The problem might be with the hard drive or memory. you'll have to run a thorough disk scan and use Memtest86+ to ensure that there are no problems with it. yes you can install windows 7 on your system.
