8. Raster, Vector & Resolution

RASTER

RASTER (also called bitmap) images are made up of PIXELS and are RESOLUTION DEPENDENT.

Resolution refers to image quality which is determined by the number of pixels per inch (DPI)

Photoshop, Paint and Gimp are RASTER programs. Photoshop has some Vector capabilities (pen, shape, and type tools)

The verb RASTERIZE means to convert vector into pixels

VECTOR

VECTOR images are made up of POINTS & LINE SEGMENTS and are RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT.

Resolution Independent means that the image quality is not determined by DPI and can be scaled up without getting blurry.

Adobe Illustrator, MS Word, etc are VECTOR programs. Type and shape layers in Photoshop are VECTOR Graphics.
