Digital imaging

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Digital Imaging [ ˈdɪdʒɪtl̩ ˈɪmɪdʒɪŋ ] ( German for 'digital image recording') is an English generic term for all processes in electronic image processing (EBV).

Similar to the term multimedia in the 1990s, digital imaging is a buzzword that is very much used by the photo industry. The starting material are images and videos of digital origin ( digital camera ) but also reflective or transparent originals ( slides or photo negatives ) digitized by scanner ( scanography ). Digital imaging means processing, changing, archiving or presentation of these media with the help of computers, as well as their printing or photographic reproduction.
