Domaine(s) – Computer Graphics color muzziness CORRECT muzziness CORRECT muzz CORRECT estompé CORRECT, NOM, MASC flou CORRECT, NOM, MASC flou des couleurs CORRECT, MASC Example of muzziness found in Google: The original file is an 1150 x 1500 pixel 256-gray-scale .jpg. Several transformations were used to create the image you see here. The look I was after was an old faded picture-book on heavy textured paper. The first manipulation was to adjust the color balance (R -10, G -20, B -50) to get the rusty-off-black ink color in place of true black and neutral grays. This left the background a dull mustard color, for which I substituted an ivory using the color replacer tool. The color depth was increased to 16 million colors to allow me to resample the drawing to 250 x 339; then I applied a sharpening filter to reduce the muzziness and break up the lines. The whole picture was marqueed and modified to 50% opacity and saved as a 31KB .jpg [http://www.legends.dm.net/illos.html] Reference: http://www.termium.com |

softness, dissolve Explanation: These would be the terms I am more familiar with in my own experience in the biz. 'muzziness' (I've never come across this as a technical term) is more used to describe an image DEFECT, whereas 'softness' is more likely to be regarded as a specific QUALITY. It could, of course, equally well be referring to the technique whereby one shot transforms into another, not by dissolving between them, but by going completely out of focus and then coming back into focus again on the new image.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4775 days (2013-11-25 21:54:42 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Also, if these are extra effects being provided by this studio, 'fades' and 'defocusing' — commonly used, for example, to render a background scene 'soft' so as to emphasize a foreground pack shot etc. |
