Digital Imaging

While most of this week's info on digital imaging wasn't new to me, I did pick up one important thing: Image compression is important. The quality (DPI) of the image is driven by the application. For some strange reason (ignorance, perhaps?), I thought that was taken care of when you resized an image. This might explain the poor performance that I find on some web sites when photos are loading.

We also did some work with desktop publishing, but did not get into it too deeply. Nothing new to me here. Using a Word template is simple and there are plenty available online.

I turned in my Excel project. Doing this project gave me a little more exposure to a few of the features of this wonderful program. I have been a light user of Excel for years, and it has gotten progressively better (and easier to use) with each new version. The exception to this may be the Mac version. By today's standards, I find it clunky and difficult to access some of the features. Fortunately, I have a PC notebook to balance out my company-supplied Macbook.
