A lot of words have been written and exchanged about the difference between -- and possible advantages or disadvantages of -- CCD (charged-couple device) and CMOS (metal oxide semiconductor + active-pixel sensor) camera sensors. What really is the difference between them?
Samsung's most recent sensors use what the company calls ISOCELL Plus technology, but the company has already improved on that tech with ISOCELL 2.0, which can give the smaller pixels found on smartphone sensors added light sensitivity and improved image quality.
Two pixels on a hard drive were having a conversation. Here's how it went...
If you do a lot of photo editing, you've likely gotten pretty used to making estimates of pixel dimensions. But how good are you, exactly?
A new browser-based game called Pixact.ly wants to help you answer that question. It's based around the simple idea of drawing a box with specific pixel dimensions.
In an attempt to potentially flip the imaging licensing market on its head, Pixels.com has launched a new platform that puts the photographers in control for a change. By allowing image creators to manage every aspect of the process -- from prices, to what the license entails -- they're hoping to completely change who holds the power in the image licensing marketplace.
Seeing as the Voyager-1 spacecraft has been in the news recently, here's the story of a very special photograph that it took 23 years ago known as "The Pale Blue Dot".
In 1990, 13 years after Voyager-1 left Earth on its mission to visit two of the gas giants and their moons of our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, one last command was sent to the spacecraft as suggested by Carl Sagan who was then part of the Voyager-1's imaging team. That instruction was to turn back around and take one last photo of our solar system before continuing on its epic journey away from the Sun and the planets.
Vodafone recently ran a pretty creative advertising campaign called “Pixel Hunt” for the purpose of illustrating how many pixels …
