Exercise 6 – Non-Destructive Editing

For this exercise we used Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop to edit Images.

1. Non Destructive editing definition: Ways to adjusts your images without losing information.
2. The four challenges introduced by digital photography are:-
-The creation of a vast number of photos.
-The need to apply identical adjustments to many photos in one operation
-The need to interpret a single source image in multiple ways
-The Desire to take advantage of rapidly evolving imaging technology to reinterpret images with more capable software in the future.

1. The term 'Derivative File' is when you duplicate files without compromising the integrity of the source image. i.e Adjustment layers
2. The 2 problems with using 'Save As..' to create derivative files is that it could become confusing with naming files and that it could take up too much disk space.
3. 'Self Referenced Non Destructive Imaging' is wrapping up the source image with a set of instructions for rendering a photo.
4. The 2 advantages of Self Referenced NDI over the use of Derivative Files is that it is more economical in terms of storage and it is easier to sort out to what has been done to an image.
5. Fixed Rendering - Refers to any image that has its rendering described in pixel information.
6. Live Rendering - A view of the image that only exists when the source image is loaded into the software.
7. The 3 advantages of NDI is:-
-Multiple photo manipulation
-Unlimited undo
-Space saving
