Active-Matrix Display: A type of flat panel LCD display used in laptop and portable computers. Active matrix displays produce a superior image to passive matrix displays.
Additive Colors: The three additive primary colors are red, green and blue. When these three colors of light are mixed in equal proportions they will produce white light. Also known as additive primaries.
Advanced Photo System: Sometimes referred to as APS. The new imaging system centered around a new film cartridge, with cameras, film, and photo finishing all talking to one another to avoid errors, produce pictures of the best quality, and organize these pictures for easy retrieval.
Advanced Photo System Cassette: The film cartridge loaded into the camera and then used to store the processed negatives. It has indicators to show if the film a) is new b) has been used (exposed) partly c) has been used (exposed) completely d) has been processed. If the Film has been completely used or processed, the cassette cannot be put back into the camera.
Advantix: Eastman Kodak's brand name for their APS products.
Airbrushing: A software tool found in many image editing programs that simulates the effect of a mechanical airbrush.
Aliasing: The visual stair-stepping of edges that occurs in an image when the resolution is too low. This can be caused by improper image sampling or improper image processing.
Anti-Aliasing: A technique used to smooth the transition between adjacent image areas. The removal or softening of jagged (aliased) edges by averaging or blending techniques.
Aperture: This is the opening in the lens that controls how much light goes through to the film. Apertures are marked in f/stops. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture.
Archive: Storage of selected digital files for backup or long-term storage.
Artifact: Unwanted visual anomalies or defects generated by an input or output device, or by a software operation, that degrade image quality.
Artificial Intelligence: The use of computers to solve problems and process information in ways that approximate human thought.
Aspect Ratio: The relationship of an image's horizontal length and vertical height. The horizontal length number is placed first (i.e. 3:2).
