CnC: Comments and Critisizm (so many people don't know that)
WIP: Work in progress
Vector: Something that is "vectorized." ...oh god, just click here for an example XD
Contrast: bumping up the contrast makes the picture notably brighter and can limit colours. Lowering it darkens the colour scheme
Saturation: dramatically brightens the dominant colour
Desaturation: converts to grayscale
depth: creating the perception of a third dimension with your sig
Tone Your basic hue with both white and black (therefore gray) added to it.
Tint: Your basic hue with white added to it
Shade: Your basic hue with black added to it
masks: basically a covering of part of an image, in adobe terms black applied to a mask means that that part of the image does not show through while white is the opposite
rasters: a set of horizontal lines composed of individual pixels, used to form an image
vectors: pretty much mathematical calculations which contain colour or gradients of colour. Since they are mathematical equations you can resize them without loss in quality unlike rasters
Canvas/Trim: Your basic work area
Margins: lines that help you place components of a composition together inside a page. I wont go into slug and bleed because those arent necessary if youre not printing professionally
Slices: quite literally, used to slice up an image into small pieces. Mainly used to put together web pages from many small components
WYSIWYG: General design acronym that stands for what you see is what you get... an example of this would be a web design program like dreamweaver which has a design view mode
CMYK: Colour mode used for print (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), it is subtractive meaning that when you combine all the colours you create black. ALL your work that goes out for print should be in CMYK or Pantone colours
RGB: An additive colourspace used by monitors and electronics (red, green, blue), has a much wider gamut than cmyk therefore is used for web graphics
Pantone Colours: Just a colour company that you dont really need to know about unless you go into graphic design or the like
Gamut The range of colours in a coulour space. For example, CMYK has a colour space which is smalled than the rgb space because rgb has 255 values of red green and blue which create a gamut of 255x255x255 colours
