If you’ve worked with many images from the Public Domain, you’ve most likely encountered the issues I’m going to address in this fourth installment of Photoshop Tricks.

Photographs are continuous-tone images because you cannot distinguish divisions, or gradations, between colors. Printed images are not continuous-tone images. Instead, printers create the illusion of many colors using halftone dots. Most printed images are made up of rows of dots of varying sizes, called halftone screens, which produce the appearance of multiple tones when printed.

The quality of a printed image is greatly influenced by the refinement of its halftone screen. The finer the screen, the less apparent the dot pattern, because there are more dots per area and they are closer together. A high-resolution imagesetter, which can produce a high number of dots per inch, will accommodate a fine halftone screen.

What you gain by using an LCD monitor for your industrial display is the future of display technology. CRTs although they have dropped in cost significantly, do not offer the performance, reliability, and mounting options available with LCDs.

Beyond that it is the function of the video board, which converts the analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) signals from a standard video card to a high quality, digital RGB that the LCD can display.
