non-reproducible colors Non-reproducible colors are colors present in an original photograph, that fall outside of the gamut.
Object An image usually consists of objects. If the user was to create an image of a flower, the stem and leaves could be treated as objects by themselves, or the leaves could all be treated as one object. In graphic design images are usually built up, object by object.

Outline The outline is the outer edge of text or a graphic.
P

patterned fill A custom fill usually defined by the user.
Pixel The smallest picture element (used to display an image on a computer), that can be independently assigned a color.
PNG Portable Network Graphics format. PNG (usually pronounced " ping"), is used for lossless compression. The PNG format displays images without jagged edges while keeping file sizes relatively small, making them popular on the web. PNG files are however generally larger than GIF files.
Posterize A tool in graphic software that reduces the number of shades of gray or colors to a specific number.
PPI Pixels Per Inch. A measurement of the resolution of a scanned image.

real estate logos Logos created specifically for real estate companies. Real estate logos often contain standard real estate images, such as a roof, house, or a building.
Resample A function available in image editing that allows the user to change the resolution of the image while keeping its pixel count in tact.
Resolution The resolution of an image is an important factor in determining the attainable output quality. The higher the resolution of an image, the less pixilated it will be and the curves of the image will appear smoother.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) RGB is the model used to project color on a computer monitor. By mixing these three colors, a large percentage of the visible color spectrum can be represented.
