the brightness of a colour can be affected by surrounding colours
brightness adaptation
1 of 39
strong background colours will impact a percieved colour cast on the ofreground objects
lateral colour adaptation
2 of 39
when all colours are affected by proximity of other colours
simultaneous contrast
3 of 39
the perception of a specific wavelength
hue
4 of 39
the range/area of hues avaliable in a colour space
colour gamut
5 of 39
the idea that we make assumptions about what we see
change blindness
6 of 39
a means to assess colour independant of luminance, with parameters of hue and saturation
chromaticity
7 of 39
the amount of white light mixed with a hue
saturation
8 of 39
the intensity of light emitted from a surface per unit area in a given direction
luminance
9 of 39
one colour pixel in a CCD or CMOS sensor, tiny light cavity which collect and share photons
photosite
10 of 39
the amount of light falling onto a subject or area
illumination
11 of 39
the measure of a photographic films sensitivity to light, measured by the ISO system
film speed
12 of 39
the largest aperture a lens has
lens speed
13 of 39
the closest distance where both objects at infinity and closer objects are in acceptable focus
hyperfocal distance
14 of 39
the field which is drawn first of an interlaced analogue video signal (even or odd)
field dominance
15 of 39
when two lines from field 1 and field 2 of an interlaced analogue video signal interfere
twitter
16 of 39
when the electronic beam of a CRT is turned off at the end of a line
horizontal blanking
17 of 39
when the electronic beam of a CRT is moved left to the next alternate line
horizontal retrace
18 of 39
the lines used for picture which are not 'lost' during blanking
active video
19 of 39
filter for a waveform moniter showing only luminance
low pass filter
20 of 39
filter for a waveform moniter showing only chrominance
CHRM filter
21 of 39
filter for a waveform moniter showing the composite signal
flat filter
22 of 39
when dark areas of the image become solid black
crushing
23 of 39
the function which mimics the non-linear way film stock handles exposure
gamma
24 of 39
the reducing of luminance or chrominance information into a bit depth
quantization
25 of 39
a means of mixing adjacent shades to make banding less obvious
dithering
26 of 39
when there isnt enough chrominance information to show clean transitions between two bold colours
aliasing
27 of 39
uses different shades to reduce visible aliasing
anti-aliasing
28 of 39
unprocessed data captured by the imager
raw
29 of 39
the difference between the smallest and largest usable signal through transmission or processing chain or storage medium
dynamic range
30 of 39
the direct analogue-analogue or digital-digital conversion of one encoding to another
transcoding
31 of 39
the unit of luminous intensity
candela
32 of 39
the amount of magenta or green needed to correct a source to a certain colour spectrum and colour temperature
colour compensation
33 of 39
opaque matte black cloth on a frame that blocks light from hitting certain areas
flag
34 of 39
a foam core sheet held by a stand to enable a soft light source to be created from a hard light source
bounce board
35 of 39
softbox you attach to a fresnel or open face
chimera
36 of 39
indicates the cables current carrying capacity
AWG rating
37 of 39
the maximum amount of current the cable can handle in amps
ampacity
38 of 39
the ratio between the illumination of the key light and the illumination of the fill light
key to fill ratio
