Tech/Engineering - Fotografie/Bildbearbeitung (und Grafik) / Layout design | | Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Bildbalken | | This is the bar or stripe used to superimpose a caption or lettering over an image. It may be solid but is often transparent to some degree, revealing the image beneath. Any idea what the proper team in English is? |
| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)d_williams: 8:47pm Feb 27, 2008: This would quite possibly depend on which software you are using, if you're looking for the term used in a specific software package such as Photoshop, the Gimp or Corel PhotoPaint.
Ken Cox: 9:04pm Feb 27, 2008: This may also be idiosyncratic usage, since the vast majority of the google image hits I see for Bildbalken are banners.
Robert Schlarb: 6:49am Feb 28, 2008: The context is professional graphic design, i.e. originally for printed material. The suggestion of "banner" is specific to the web. Since the term "Bildbalken" is apparently rooted in the conventional trade, it may well be somewhat outdated.
d_williams: 7:11am Feb 28, 2008: Are you sure? I would suggest that banner pre-dates the web, and the web lifted such terminology from conventional publishing/printing. Can't say for certain though.
Robert Schlarb: 7:52am Feb 28, 2008: to d_williams - Strange that there is not a single google hit for the combination "bildbalken image-banner". And in German "Banner" is commonly used to refer to this sort of object on web pages.
Ken Cox: 9:38am Feb 28, 2008: FWIW, I get two *image* hits for the combination of Bildbalken and banner, but nothing relevant with text searching.
d_williams: 9:46am Feb 28, 2008: Treu taht is seems strange, but they needn't necessarily be used together to mean the same thing. If you do a google image search for the two terms, you'll find similar results, e.g.:
d_williams: 9:46am Feb 28, 2008: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://lh3.google.com...
d_williams: 9:46am Feb 28, 2008: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cmemeeting...
d_williams: 9:47am Feb 28, 2008: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://dup-agency.com...
d_williams: 9:47am Feb 28, 2008: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.lingolino....
d_williams: 9:55am Feb 28, 2008: As I said, tehy may well not co-exist on the same pages, so separate image searchers are more fruitful.
d_williams: 9:56am Feb 28, 2008: PS. Sorry about the typos!
Robert Schlarb: 10:10am Feb 28, 2008: to d_williams - I just noticed that we worked together on a project in the past, David.
In any case, you need to post your answer if you are interested in collecting kudoz points.
d_williams: 10:29am Feb 28, 2008: Hi Robert, sure. I just didn't want to steal Ken's thunder, as he was the first one to suggest banner. Cheers, David
Ken Cox: 10:40am Feb 28, 2008: That was just a slight murmur ;-)
d_williams: 10:46am Feb 28, 2008: OK :) As I said, it seems to be a different meaning, given the definition above, but I've just chekced the HDM Handbuch der Printmedien, and Bildbalken isn't in the Index there, so I suspect we are talking about an image banner.

| | image banner | Erklärung:
An image banner would be the same as a Bildbalken in the sense of a "Balken mit Bildern", although this doesn't quite tally with your definition, which sounds more like a text layer (e.g. in Photoshop).
