HDR - High Dynamic Range. Here's a definition:

There are folks on UHH who are terrific at this.
Huh, didn't realize there were two different acronyms, Rocco. Am I wrong on this or are they both the same thing?

HDR = High Density Resolution Its a combnation of in camera "bracketed" shots and processing by layering them over each other to achieve a final image.[/quote]
Thank you, that is what I was hunting for. I'm by no means a professional, I'm a wanna be :oops: my Olympus 18X Ultra Zoom doesn't have HDR no wonder I didn't know what it was!
I've met professional photogs who didn't know what an OUZY was too. :lol: BU :thumbup:

google is your friend, also so is an introduction ... (show quote)
I have to agree with Sinatraman in this regard. There is no substitute for devouring anything you can lay your hands on about photography. The internet makes this so easy. Now saying that, noone here minds jumping in and helping. Specific questions work best. Like Sinatraman says...its hard to respond to "Hey what do all of these initals mean?" On the other hand, I have always thought that reviewing the basics with a new photographer makes us revalidate the info in our own heads too. My mentors always subscribed to the "The only dumb question is the one you dont ask" model!

I'm so new to this site, I've been lurking for a while but have never seen these shortened to 2 or 3 letters explained except the PP one. I can't keep them straight in my head. Please someone do a sheet on what the initials are and what they stand for to help us confused newbys.

thats pretty cool...but there is no bookmark for it. how do you reference it?
The FAQ Section is a work in progress. Official inclusion is the sole decision of Admin, if and when he so deems.
For now, you can bookmark (within UHH) the Photographic Terms page.

Here is a handout page I use when doing "How To Use a Digital Camera" lecture. It is by no means complete but it might help. Excuse the typing.

Nikonian72 did a good job with the definitions located at the link that has been repeated a few tiimes here.
I have one technical point that may confuse a few. Pixels are the dots that make up the image. Each is a single color. The 'depth' is normally 8 bit or better 14 bit and tells us how many different colors that pixel can display.
Sensors in cameras generate images with some particular number of pixels (10meg, 16 meg, etc.). Each of these pixels come from four sensor elements. This is where raw comes from. JPG images let the camera take these four elements and output a singel pixel. Raw sends the four elements of data to the computer and lets you decide how to combine these four elements into a single pixel. These sensors are arranged in a mosaic pattern on the sensor, so when you see the phrase de-mosaicing, you can know that this refers to the process of changing the raw data from this complicated pattern to a less complicated set of pixels in an image.
Just to prevent confusion in some who may know some of this, I did want you to know that the sensors elements in the camera are not referred to as pixels. Pixels are only the result of what the software (in camera or in the computer) does with the sensor data.
