Field Trip to CLT
We will be starting digital imaging and Photoshop after Spring Break. Today we will pay a visit to the first floor of the Library. The AT&T Center for Learning and Technology is located there. Check out the resources, including computers, scanners, and others, including the following:
Studios@CLT - an open area with high-end Windows and Macintosh workstations, color and black-and-white laser printers, scanners, audio and video digitizing capability, and a range of multimedia authoring and editing software.
Digital Audio Lab - A private room where students and faculty can record, digitize and/or manipulate audio materials and incorporate them into presentations and projects. Equipment includes a high-end Windows workstation, a synthesizer, digital audio importing and editing hardware, access to a number of audio sources providing both digital and analog import capability, and sound editing software.
Media Presentation Lab (101Q) - A room equipped with computer and video projection facilities that can accommodate up to 15 people for viewing and evaluating presentations developed in the Studios.
Video Conference Center - A room equipped with satellite down-link and Polycom two-way video conference facilities. This room will accommodate thirty-two people.
Innovation Studio - An area designed for training of faculty and staff in course management software such as TLEARN and Blackboard, as well as other multimedia software packages.
Homework: Make a thoughtful blog entry about what you found and how you might use it in our class and in your other classes.

What are TIFs, GIFs, and JPEGs?
TIFF files are commonly used to incorporate images into documents for desktop publishing. Tiffs are convenient because they may be viewed by numerous image viewing applications. Tiffs are uncompressed images that contain more computer information than gifs or jpegs and therefore usually reproduce better for print than gif files.
Gifs are usually better for reproducing logos or drawings.GIF files support a maximum of 256 colors, which makes them practical for almost all graphics except photographs. The GIF format supports transparency and is compressed. Gifs can be animated.
Jpegs are usually better for reproducing photographs. The JPEG format, with its support for 16.7 million colors, is primarily intended for photographic images, particularly for use on the web since the files are compressed and download quickly. Jpegs cannot be animated
