Unit 3: Processing text and images
Section 8: Activity 3 (2)

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • methods of image capture, editing and manipulation
  • that images can be saved in a variety of file types
  • that the file type chosen must be based on its final use and the resources available

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Use prepared image files and ask the pupils to correct the image following clear directions, possibly produced as online guides or worksheets. Tasks may include:
    • image conversion, eg colour to greyscale
    • changing image size and resolution
    • colour, intensity and contrast corrections
    • application of special filters
    • saving and retrieving image files using different file formats
  • demonstrate the process of image editing and manipulation
  • use some of the different file types used for images
  • create suitable page-ready images from a variety of sources

Points to note

  • Final image output must be referenced, as this directly influences decisions in image processing.
  • Teachers may need to investigate the features of the particular software being used. Pupils should be introduced to different file types, eg TIFF and JPEG.
