Page 2: 2.01 Understand Digital Raster Graphics.  Also called bitmap graphics  Consist of grids of tiny dots called pixels  Have a fixed resolution and cannot

Also called bitmap graphics

Consist of grids of tiny dots called pixels

Have a fixed resolution and cannot be resized without altering image quality

Edited in paint programs

Page 3: 2.01 Understand Digital Raster Graphics.  Also called bitmap graphics  Consist of grids of tiny dots called pixels  Have a fixed resolution and cannot

Can support high color depths. Most common type of raster is a digital

photograph. Great for adding special effects. Work well for web design. Used to create images for print design.

Native File Formats: file formats that are default file format that are proprietary to a specific program that are generally not meant to be used with other software.

Standard File Formats: file formats that can be used with a variety of software programs. Standard file formats are usually created by using the “Save As” command or through exporting. Standard file formats include, but are not limited to: .gif, .jpg, .png, and .tif.
