ted to Photoshop is Adobe's photo editing, image creation and graphic design software.
The word 'Multimedia' is a combination of two words, 'Multi' and 'Media'. Multi
means many and media means material through which something can be
transmitted or send. Multimedia combined all the media elements like text and
graphics to make the information more effective and attractive. Now I am going
to write about its components.
Components of Multimedia
1)Text: Text is the most common medium of representing the information. In
multimedia, text is mostly use for titles, headlines,menu etc. The most
commonly used software for viewing text files are Microsoft Word, Notepad,
Word pad etc. Mostly the text files are formatted with ,DOC, TXT etc xtension.
2)Audio: In multimedia audio means related with recording, playing etc. Audio is
an important components of multimedia because this component increase the
understandability and improves the clarity of the concept. audio includes speech,
music etc. The commonly used software for playing audio files are:i) Quick
Timeii) Real playeriii) Windows Media Player
3)Graphics: Every multimedia presentation is based on graphics. The used of
graphics in multimedia makes the concept more effective and presentable.the
commonly used software for viewing graphics are windows Picture, Internet
Explorer etc. The commonly used graphics editing software is Adobe Photoshop
through which graphics can be edited easily and can be make effective and
attractive.
4)Video: Video means moving pictures with sound. It is the best way to
communicate with each other. In multimedia it is used to makes the information
more presentable and it saves a large amount of time. The commonly used
software for viewing videos are:
i) Quick Timeii) Window Media Playeriii) Real Player
5)Animation: In computer animation is used to make changes to the images so
that the sequence of the images appears to be moving pictures. An animated
sequence shows a number of frames per second to produce an effect of motion
in the user's eye. Some of the commonly used software for viewing animation
are:i) Internet Explorerii) Windows Picturesiii) Fax Viewer
Application of multimedia
Nowadays the application of Multimedia are observed in various fields such as
Education, Entertainment,Business and so on. To communicate the message in
the form of picture, sound, video, animation is the primary role of multimedia.
Some of the application of multimedia are as follows:
1)Multimedia in Education: Multimedia is becoming popular in the field of
education. It is commonly used to prepare study material for the students and
also provide them proper understanding of different subjects.Nowadays
Edutainment, a combination of Education and Entertainment has become very
popular. This system provides learning as well as provides entertainment to the
user.
2)Multimedia in Entertainment: Computer graphics techniques are now
commonly use in making movies and games. this increase the growth of
multimedia.
i)Movies: Multimedia used in movies gives a special audio and video effect.
Today multimedia has totally changed the art of making movies in the world.
Difficult effect, action are only possible through multimedia.
ii)Games: Multimedia used in games by using computer graphics, animation,
videos have changed the gaming experience. Presently, games provides fast
action, 3-D effects and high quality sound effects which is only possible through
multimedia.
3)Multimedia in Business: Today multimedia is used in every aspect of business.
These are some of the applications:
i)Videoconferencing: This system enables to communicate using audio and video
appear as moving images. In traditional animation, images
are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid
sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Today,
most animations are made with computer-generated
imagery (CGI). Computer animation can be very detailed 3D
animation, while 2D computer animation can be used for
stylistic reasons, low bandwidth or faster real-time
renderings. Other common animation methods apply a stop
motion technique to two and three-dimensional objects
like paper cutouts, puppets or clay figures.
Computer-generated
The dominant technique in animation today. Results can be
spectacular, especially with the development of 3D.
Hand-drawn
The oldest form of movie animation in which every frame is
painstakingly drawn by hand.
Up to 30 frames per second are required.
Stop motion
The illusion of movement achieved by moving a figure in tiny
increments between each photographed frame.
Motion capture
Recording the movements of an actor and then processing
the information digitally to create a fantastical character.
Animatronics
Mechanised puppets, either programmed or remotely
controlled; usually used in “real” settings alongside flesh-and-
blood actors
Rotoscoping
A technique in which film of live action is traced over, frame
by frame, creating a strange world between reality and
imagination.
cropping means to remove unwanted areas from an image. This
process is one of the most basic photo manipulation processes.
This process is performed in order to remove an unwanted subject
or irrelevant detail from a photo, change its aspect ratio, or to
improve the overall composition.Select a picture.
Select the Picture Tools > Format tab and select Crop.
There are different ways to crop your picture:
Drag a cropping handle to crop it from the side, top, or
bottom.
Press Shift to crop the entire photo down to the size you
want.
To position your crop, move the editing area by dragging the
edges of the cropping handles or move the picture.
Press Esc to finish.
4. Play back your animation by pressing Enter or Return.
A touchscreen, or touch screen, is a both input and output
device and normally layered on the top of an electronic visual
display of an information processing system. A user can give
input or control the information processing system through
simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a
special stylus or one or more fingers.[1] Some touchscreens
use ordinary or specially coated gloves to work while others
may only work using a special stylus or pen. The user can
use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and, if the
The software provides many image editing features for raster (pixel-based) images as well
as vector graphics. It uses a layer-based editing system that enables image creation and
altering with multiple overlays that support transparency. Layers can also act as masks or
filters, altering underlying colors. Shadows and other effects can be added to the layers.
Photoshop actions include automation features to reduce the need for repetitive tasks. An
option known as Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) allows users to work on content from any
computer.
Photoshop been the industry standard image manipulation program for so long that its
name has become a verb: It is common parlance to say that an image has been
“photoshopped” or even just “shopped." Shopped, in this context, is synonymous with
edited, manipulated or faked -- often regardless of the software actually used.
Photoshop is used by photographers, graphic designers, video game artists, advertising and
meme designers. The software is available for a monthly fee, at this writing between $9.99
and $49.99 depending on the user's requirements and options selected. Photoshop CC is
compatible with Intel-based Mac computers and Windows PCs.

A laser printer is a popular type of personal computer printer that uses a non-
impact (keys don't strike the paper), photocopier technology. When a document is
sent to the printer, a laser beam "draws" the document on a selenium-coated drum
using electrical charges. After the drum is charged, it is rolled in toner, a dry powder
type of ink. The toner adheres to the charged image on the drum. The toner is
transferred onto a piece of paper and fused to the paper with heat and pressure.
After the document is printed, the electrical charge is removed from the drum and the
excess toner is collected. Most laser printers print only in monochrome. A color laser
printer is up to 10 times more expensive than a monochrome laser printer .
To create a frame-by-frame animation, follow these steps:
1.Create a new Flash document to work in.
2.Create a blank keyframe for each frame you want to include
in your animation. ...
3.Draw (or insert) a graphic for each state of your animation on
the appropriate keyframes.
The Lasso tool is helpful for drawing a free-form border
around a selected object within an image. It allows you to
soften the edges of your selection or add a feathering effect;
it's also useful for anti-aliasing.

ii)Marketing and advertisement: Nowadays different advertisement and
marketing ideas about any product on television and internet is possible with
multimedia.
Characteristics of a Multimedia System
A Multimedia system has four basic characteristics:
Multimedia systems must be computer controlled.
Multimedia systems are integrated.
The information they handle must be represented digitally.
The interface to the final presentation of media is usually interactive.
software allows, to control how it is displayed; for example,
zooming to increase the text size.
The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with
what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or
other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for
most modern touchscreens).
The Pen Tool (P) is used to draw precision paths
that define straight lines and smooth curves. ... In addition,
any lines or shapes that have been created by
other Flash drawing tools can also be displayed as paths
(points on lines) and edited with either the Pen Tool or the
Subselect Tool.
An authoring system is a program that has pre-programmed
elements for the development of interactive multimedia
software titles.[1] Authoring systems can be defined as
software that allows its user to create multimedia
applications for manipulating multimedia objects.[1]
In the development of educational software, an authoring
system is a program that allows a non-programmer, usually
an instructional designer or technologist, to easily create
software with programming features. The programming Comparison Chart
