Rastor images/Bitmaps are images that consist of individual pixels. Memory is a pixel image file format which uses a low ammount of memory due to poor quality. When you emlarge a pixel it reduces the resolution. This would be a good example. Bitmaps are used for windows based systems because it is a basic file with low memory usage.
Vector images consist of indivual shapes and use a low ammount of memory because it is a simple image like a drawing used by shapes. you can modify it without losing quality. Vectors are good because they are a small file size wth unlimited zoom without loss of quality, but they cannot produce photos well. Vector images are used for myspace sites or used as a background in a default picture.

Is it ever beneficial to use raster graphics instead of vector graphics?
Rastor graphics are also called Bitmap graphics, and are generally used with better results in photography. The pixillated form of Rastor graphics is more beneficial to subtle shading as opposed to the straight sharp lines of the Vector graphics.
What produces a raster image and what produces a vector image?
raster image = monitor, laser printer or ink-jet printer vector image = graphics plotter
Is Fla file format a vector image?
No Fla file is not a vector image. It is the source file that flash ide produces.
What does Vector and Bitmap mean?
Vector and bitmap are both image files. Bitmapped images are images that are stored on a pixel by pixel basis and because of this, when you enlarge the image it can appear blocky. A vector image is constructed from dots, lines, shapes, etc. Each part has a particular position within the image with it's own dimensions. Because vector images are constructed using images, they can be enlarged without loss of image quality. Vector images do not get the blocky appearance of an enlarged bitmap image.
What is a vector base image?
Vector-based files are more suitable for illustrations that require precise measurements, where as a bitmap image is not as sutible.
How many places are there for dowloading free vector art?
There are over fifty sites for downloading free vector art. Since vector images do not have fixed images, the image is allowed to be altered without losing the image quality.

What are some similarities between a bitmap graphic and a vector graphic?
Photoshop can not save vector image but you can work with vector shapes inside Photoshop. There are many similarities, you can add elements to image like type, shape, change color... big difference is that you can not enlarge bitmap image without losing quality.
Does indesign use bitmap or vector?
One can import both vector and raster/bitmap image formats into InDesign.
What is vector all about?
Vector describes both speed and direction. In graphic programs, a vector graphic scales smoothly (more so than a bitmap image).
Where can one get free vector images?
Free vector images are available from many online sources that store vector images. Fotolia and Vecteezy are just a few examples of free vector image websites.
What is an image in digital image processing?
It is something composed from pixels or vectors (if vector graphic processing is used by the application).
