Fascinating Fact:

File formats matter, JPEG is often used for photos, while PNG is useful for images needing clear edges or transparency.

In KS3 ICT, you learn how to process text and images so they are clear, readable, and fit for purpose. This includes editing and formatting text, choosing image size and quality, and saving work in the right format for sharing or publishing.

Key Terms

Formatting: Changing how text looks, such as font, size, spacing, alignment, or headings.
Resolution: How much detail an image has, often described by its pixel size, higher resolution usually looks sharper.
Compression: Reducing file size by removing some data or storing it more efficiently, which can affect image quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does processing text mean in ICT?

Processing text in ICT means creating, editing, and improving writing using software, for example correcting errors, applying headings, and organising content so it is easy to read.

How do you reduce an image file size without ruining it?

You can reduce file size by resizing the image to the needed dimensions and using sensible compression settings, while checking the result stays clear at the size it will be viewed.

Why does an image look blurry when I enlarge it?

An image can look blurry when enlarged because it does not have enough pixels for the new size, so the software has to stretch the pixels and the detail becomes less sharp.
