Document Summary

Finishing up fonts: font size: font size on dreamweaver (web page text) can be measured in several different units: Points, picas (as in ms word, absolute length) Percentage, ems (relative to the default browser font) Points (absolute length: are a print unit, text that is 72 points is 1 inch tall, commonly text is 12 points, this is 1/6 of an inch. Firefox times new roman, font size 16 pixels. Converting analog to digital: step 1: sampling (how often do i take a sample (measurement) to represent parts of the thing" (how many parts will i break the thing up into?)) Amount of combinations of different colours needed per pixel. Megapixels: millions of pixels you can capture in a photograph on your digital camera (how many samples it will break the image into) Camera with more megapixels can print a larger image without the human eye detecting a loss of quality.
