If words like gamut, vector, interpolation and dither cause your brain to shrivel up, don't despair.

Digital imaging and Photoshop guru Ben Wilmore turns the mumbo jumbo into understandable terms with Definition Doctor.
Anti-aliasing: Smoothing the edge of an otherwise hard-edged object by adding partially transparent pixels. These pixels help to blend the edge of the object into the surrounding image, making it harder to see the edge of the pixels and therefore avoiding a jaggy edge.
Inerpolation: The processes of adding or removing pixels to an image to either change the image’s dimensions, or to change how large the pixels will be when the image is printed. When interpolation is done, the cropping of the image will not change.
Upsample: To increase the number of pixels that makes up the width and/or height of an image without changing its general appearance (no cropping, or adding of white space).
