Whois & Analysis for clippingoutsource.com

In computer science, a mask or bitmask is data that is used for bitwise operations, particularly in a bit field.

Using a mask, multiple bits in a byte, nibble, word, etc.

can be set either on or off, or inverted from on to off (or vice versa) in a single bitwise operation.

An additional use of masking involves predication in vector processing, where the bitmask is used to select which element operations in the vector are to be executed (mask bit is enabled) and which are not (mask bit is clear).

A clipping path (or "deep etch") is a closed vector path, or shape, used to cut out a 2D image in image editing software.

Anything inside the path will be included after the clipping path is applied; anything outside the path will be omitted from the output.

Applying the clipping path results in a hard (aliased) or soft (anti-aliased) edge, depending on the image editor's capabilities.

In graphic design and computer graphics, a drop shadow is a visual effect consisting of a drawing element which looks like the shadow of an object, giving the impression that the object is raised above the objects behind it.

The drop shadow is often used for elements of a graphical user interface such as windows or menus, and for simple text.

The text label for icons on desktops in many desktop environments has a drop shadow, as this effect effectively distinguishes the text from any colored background it may be in front of.

Image editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographs, traditional photo-chemical photographs, or illustrations.

Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium.

Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images.

Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch.

The term "image editing" usually refers only to the editing of 2D images, not 3D ones.

Outsourcing includes both foreign and domestic forms of outside contracting.

It is an agreement in which one company hires another company to be responsible for a planned or existing activity which otherwise is or could be carried out internally, i.e. in-house, and sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another.

The term outsourcing, which came from the phrase outside resourcing, originated no later than 1981 at a time when industrial jobs in the United States were being moved overseas, contributing to the economic and cultural collapse of small, industrial towns.
