"Kodak was particularly aggressive in promoting digital photography to a mass market, partnering with Microsoft and Kinko's to place digital image-editing workstations and kiosks in all Kinko's locations. These workstations enabled consumers to edit and print digital photographs, as well as create Photo CD discs. Simultaneously, Kodak partnered with IBM to create an Internet-based image exchange, and Hewlett-Packard marketed the first color inkjet printers designed especially for the printing of digital photographs." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "One tiny digital image is called a pixel, and the more pixels contained in an image, the sharper the picture. In digital photography, the number of photosites on a sensor is roughly equal to the number of pixels captured. (Not all photosites are used for imaging, which is why this is an inexact calculation.) Thus a sensor that has roughly 2.1 million photosites is said to have 2.1 megapixel resolution (1 million pixels equals 1 megapixel)." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.) "The two most common graphics formats used in digital photography today are TIFF and JPG. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)is a lossless format preferred for photo prints and other hard copy output; it creates large files unsuited for digital transmission. JPG (joint Photo Experts Group) is a lossy, compressed format that produces acceptable image quality with small-sized files; it is ideal for use on the Internet Storage Options Digital images are typically stored on rewritable media connected to or inserted into the digital camera." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)
