Layers are an essential part of graphics. Some users who have never used layers but suddenly figure out how they work, can no longer stay away from them, since the layer technique is really functional. An image file can be made of several independent layers that lay on top of each other. When the layers

Changing the transparent colors in an image is useful for making it mesh well with a website background, for layering multiple images on top of each other, for better showing any text that is layered on top of an image, for removing or hiding part of a picture for emphasis, etc. But understanding how to

TIFF files no matter if they are compressed or not compressed, always remain large ensuring the highest quality and keeping all the image details inside them.

When talking about JPEG images we so much take their advantages for granted, that situations when JPEGs are converted to other image formats are rare and surprising for amateur photographers. But let’s remember that JPEG is not even a format – it’s a compression algorithm. It compresses an image so well keeping so much of

When we deal with different image formats, we sometimes come across situations when one and the same format has several files extensions (JPEG and JPG, TIFF and TIF, etc). But some image formats are more tricky – the same file extension can mean very different things. One of the image formats serving as an example

Do you often find yourself frustrated with too dark or too light areas in the same photo? The photo was supposed to cause admiration, but now is not suitable for sharing at all.
