Image Bank 共享圖庫

boto bank"imagebank.um-gallery.net" hosts all our self-created stock images of resolution up to 800x800 pixel. All these images might be downloaded, copied, and redistributed on condition that they aren't used for any inappropriate purpose or making direct profit from sale of them in the form of image. If you want to know the reason behind our move, be patient. We'll tell the public what drove us to take such action in our blog. 

Video Works 影音作坊

Newly unveiled AV library will certainly give more choices for web building. We're not going to create another legend like "youtube", but we're willing to try our best to contribute to the creative industry as what we've done in the past twenty years. 
全新自製短片圖庫推出,一如過往,我們不斷推陳出新.不為創做另一網絡神話,但求為創意工業帶來更多選擇,歡迎自由下載作分享參考用 (須保留版權印記)

Knowledge itself is power.

- Sir Francis Bacon, of heresies


5.1 RESOLUTION OF DIGITAL IMAGE: The resolution of a digital image is defined in terms of pixel per inch (ppi). Pixel is the basic element of a digital image which is square in shape and uniform in color. The quality of an image is positively related to the number of square pixels per inch. When talking about the resolution of a digital image, either a digital photo or an image generated by software, only the original pixel density at 1 to 1 scale is significant. It doest not make too much sense to enhance the resolution using else software in anyway.

The following diagram shows  the square pixels of a digital foto under microscope .

5.2 RESOLUTION OF INPUT DEVICES 輸入器材精度:

5.2.1 RESOLUTION OF SCANNER 素描器精度:

Both the flatbed scanner and drum scanner scan image pixel by pixel and the resolution is limited by hardware architecture , i.e. the density of censor of CCD, CMOS or diameter of laser beam. The quality of images reproduced by drum scanners which use laser beam in the process of scanning is the best among all.

5.2.2 RESOLUTION OF DIGITAL CAMERA 數碼相機精度:

Digital camera use CCD or CMOS as the light censing unit. The image size is determined by the number of pixels correponding to the total number of light sensitive unit on the CCD or CMOS. Once the photo is taken, the resolution of image is also determined

5.3. RESOLUTION OF OUTPUT DEVICES 輸出器材精度:

5.3.1 RESOLUTION OF MONITOR 顯示器精度:

Limited by the hardware architecture, the default resolution of CRT monitor or LCD monitor is only 72dpi or 96dpi. As it is lower than most of the printers or image setters in use, images shown up on monitor in “actual size” cannot be printed at 1:1 scale without any sacrifice of quality.

5.3.2 RESOLUTION OF PRINTER 打印機精度:

The resolution of printer is defined in terms of dpi (dot per inch) Printers reproduce a pixel with a collection of dots of color ink. For instance, based on the algorithm of postscript language or other printer control language, a 16 x 16 matrix of ink dot pattern is used to represent a 8 bit channel of color. Therefore, for the best result, the printer resolution in terms of dpi must be higher than the image resolution expressed in terms of ppi (pixel per inch). Please refer to 5.4 for details.

5.3.3 RESOLUTION OF IMAGE SETTER 分色片輸出機精度:

5.3.3.1 Representation of half-tone 灰階顯示:

Image-setters work in similar way as inkjet printers except it use laser beam instead of ink to produce pattern of dots on film. With a 16 x 16 matrix of dot pattern, 256 grade scale is simulated.

5.3.3.2 Mixture of Color and Screen Angle 混色及網角: 

In multicolor printing, each channel of color of a pixel is represented by a 16 x 16 matrix of dots and a combination of different color dots will reproduce a mixture of color visually under naked eyes. To ensure all the dots are positioned correctly, the matrix of dots must be arrnage in certain angle, i.e. screen angle. For CMYK offset printing, If not otherwise specified, the screen angle for the 4 process colors are 105, 75, 90 and 45 respectively, with emulsion of film facing downward. Refer to "Customer Support 3" for more information

5.3.3.3 Quality of Printing and Screen Repetition 打印素質與網線密度: 

Image-setters of higher resolution can produce more lines of dot matrix in one inch. Screen repetition (or screen ruling) means the number of dot matrix lines per inch. Usually, for high quality print job, 175 lpi or even 200 lpi is expected. However, some offset printer can only print 133 lpi or 100 lpi. If not otherwise specified, 175lpi is assumed to be the screen repetition for high quality CMYK offset print job and 133lpi for mono/multi color stationery printing.

5.5 RELATION BETWEEN THE SIZE OF IMAGE AND SCALE OF OUTPUT 數碼圖像輸出大小與輸出器材之關係:

        The following are the scale of output that a digital imae of various resolution can reproduce. Note that the higher the resolution of the output device, the smaller the output image it will be. The size suggested below is adjusted to fit the conventional media size; they are somewhat different to the result obtained by theoetical calculation.

Our Committment to Creativity 我們對創新的理念

av_clip/creation_icon.gifFor more than two decades,  we've been working hard to achieve the seamless fusion of  old with new, east with west  and art with science. Neither a clumsy mixture nor  a simple crossover can satisfy us.  We've never thought that we 've really made it.  Yet we've tried our best to approach it without regret.

In this approximately 36sec promotion  trailer in  mpg-1 file of 4.3MB,  we not only show our committment to creative industry (Quicktime needed)., but also demonstrate a low cost production of mutimedia ad on the internet is simple and possible. More samples are available. Just click and check. 

在20年的歲月裡,我們曾努力不 懈地嘗試,揉合現代和傳統、東方和西方、藝 術和科技,我們不敢奢言成功、或滿足於簡單 的混合、以至笨拙的結合,但卻無悔追 尋這36秒的動畫, 表達我們對創作的理念, 也展示低成本創作之可能. 網頁內有更多我們的創作樣本.
