Art Word of the Day: Gray scale

in #wordoftheday5 years ago

Term: Gray scale

Definition: Strip of gray values ranging

from white to black. Used by process camera and scanner operators to calibrate exposure times for film and plates. Also called step wedge.

The range of neutral values, or shades of gray in an image. The gray scales of scanners and terminals are determined by the number of grays, or steps between black and white, that they can recognize and reproduce.



Art Word of the Day


Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
