Vector images:
- Made up with lines and curves.
- Best for geometric characteristics such as circles, squares, etc..
- Able to move freely or change graphics without losing detail or clarity.
- Great with artwork such as logos.
Raster images:
- Generates pixels, rather than vector data.
- Have the options of filters, such as Drop shadow, Outer glow, etc..
- When applied an effect, it will determine it's resolution of the resulting image, which may be blury.
What else can I help you with?
What produces a raster image and what produces a vector image?
raster image = monitor, laser printer or ink-jet printer vector image = graphics plotter
What is the difference between a raster and image data?
Raster IS a type of image data another type is VECTOR.Raster deals with picture elements (pixels) these are discrete bits of the picture , small dots or swuares that together make up the entire image).Vectors deal with mathematical expressions for lines and areas. You can zoom in invinitely into a vector image and neve get blocks or jaggged edges which appear in raster images.
Is a bmp image raster or vector?
A BMP (Bitmap) image is a raster image. Raster images are composed of a grid of individual pixels, each with its own color value, making them resolution-dependent. This means that resizing a BMP image can lead to a loss of quality, unlike vector images, which are composed of paths and can be scaled without losing clarity.
Does indesign use bitmap or vector?
One can import both vector and raster/bitmap image formats into InDesign.
What is the download speed of a vector image?
vector graphics as smaller than raster graphics but the size depends on the size of the image but they are generally smaller in size than raster images(i.e images such as photos) and can scale up and down without losing quality.
Which is appropriate for a project vector or raster graphics?
It all depends on the project. Raster images are resolution dependent, you loose quality if you enlarge the image. Vector graphics maintain image quality when enlarged and are best suited for logos, or any design that will be reproduced in different sizes.
What are the two categories of graphic image files?
One possible categorization is in raster images and vector images.
What is difference between a raster and a vector display unit?
Raster images are made up of pixels, Vector images are made up of paths. Raster images (sometimes called bitmap images) are made up of a grid of pixels, each of which can be a different colour.Vector images, on the other hand, rely upon mathematical relationships between points in order to make up paths, which when all combined, make up a full image.Bitmaps are better for photographs or images with complex shading. Vectors are better typefaces and illustrations. Vectors also scale much better than bitmaps.
How are GIFs stored?
As raster images, so if you have vector objects and choose to save as gif, you will not be able to change vector objects next time you open image.
What is Vector tracing?
Vector tracing, also known as vectorization, is the process of converting raster images or bitmap graphics into vector graphics. Raster images are composed of a grid of pixels, where each pixel contains color information, and they are resolution-dependent. This means that when you enlarge a raster image, the pixels become visible, resulting in a loss of quality and a pixelated appearance.
Difference between Digital image processing and computer graphics?
There is always a confusion among the newbies about the difference between Image Processing and Computer Graphics. Unless specifically mentioned , Computer Graphics is all about Synthesizing a new image from Geometry , Lighting parameters , Materials and Textures . The Emphasis is on Digital Image Synthesis. Image Processing is the process of manipulating an image acquired through some device . The image too often will be acquired from photographs,scanners , medical equipments. The emphasis is on Analysis and Enhancement of the image. Computer Vision is an area where Image Analysis is used a lot. Raster Operations dominate in the case of image processing. In the case of Computer Graphics , you will mix vector and raster operations to generate the final image.
What is rasterization?
Rasterisation is the progressive scanning of an image in a line by line fashion. TV and computer displays are scanned left to right line by line and so are raster displays. Vectorisation or vector graphics are the opposite of rasterisation. In this method of display the image is drawn in a point to point method. An oscilloscope is an example of a vector display. Raster graphics have the advantage of having the same refresh rate all the time irrespective of the complexity and colour depth of the image drawn (this is not the same as the framerate). All home computers now use a raster display output. Vector graphics can be coloured but are line drawings only. Examples of this type of colour vector display is the 1980's game Starwars or the monochrome Vectrex games consol from the same period.
