The tiny dots that are visible on photo images are called pixels. There are generally thousands of pixels in a small area of a photograph. The larger the number of pixels in a small area, the clearer the photograph appears.

What is the name of the dots used in photo journalism?

Oddly enough, they're just called "dots," and are part of what's commonly known as a "halftone screen." The number of dots per inch determines the resolution of the printed halftone photo (the more dots, the sharper the picture -- 150 dpi allows for much finer detail resolution than 72 dpi). The reason this effect was required is that offset printing is not capable of reproducing shades or gradations of tone -- there's either ink on the paper or not. Reducing a continuous tone photo to a series of dots allows it to be reproduced on a printing press. Without the dot structure, the press would simply print a blotch of ink. Traditionally the halftone was achieved by laying a reusable, semi-transparent screen of the desired frequency (number of dots per inch) over high-contrast photographic paper on an enlarger (or by a similar process on a "line camera," but that's a whole 'nother topic). Bright areas of the picture were thus translated to small dots on the paper; darker areas comprised larger dots. Nowadays, most pre-press operations use scanners, computer graphics programs and digital output systems to produce halftones.

What is a fern plant's little dots on its leaves called?

The dots on a fern plant's leaves are called sori. Sori are clusters of sporangia, which are structures that contain and release spores for reproduction.


What fern plant has rows of little black dots on the back of the leaves These little dots are not harmful They hold millions of tiny reproductive cells called?

The fern plant you are referring to is likely a Polypodium fern, which is known for having rows of little black dots on the back of its leaves called sori. These sori contain spores, which are the reproductive cells of the fern and are not harmful.


Where was pointillism formed?

Pointillism was formed in France in the late 19th century. It was pioneered by artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, who used small dots of color to create images when viewed from a distance.

What is the resolution required for high-quality photo prints?

The resolution required for high-quality photo prints is typically 300 dots per inch (dpi) or higher. This ensures sharp and detailed images when printed.


What is the significance of photo DPI and how does it impact the quality of images?

The significance of photo DPI, or dots per inch, is that it determines the resolution and quality of an image. A higher DPI means more dots are packed into each inch, resulting in a sharper and more detailed image. Lower DPI can lead to pixelation and a loss of clarity in the image. Adjusting DPI can impact the overall sharpness and quality of printed or digital images.


What is a non impact printer that creates characters and images with dots by using a drum and toner called?

A laser printer.


Monitors display images by using a grid made up million of tiny dots called?

A computer screen is a grid work of small dots of light called a bitmap graphic. This is how computer monitors and televisions work.


What is the best resolution for photo printing to ensure high-quality prints?

For high-quality prints, the best resolution for photo printing is typically 300 dots per inch (dpi) or higher. This resolution ensures sharp and detailed images when printed.

What qualities should I look for in a photo printer?

DPI (dots per inch) is the most important statistic for photo printers. This is the best indicator of the quality of photo that the printer will produce.


Does digital offset printing cost more than regular photo printing?

Usually, no. There's not a huge price difference in the cost of digital printing vs. photo printing, but the quality of photo printing is still higher. Digital printing involves printing tiny dots of color on paper to create an image while photo printing is done on photo paper where you don't see dots.
