Bitmap images are made up of pixels on a screen. |
| |
|
Bitmap images are dependent on resolution. |
| |
|
Bitmap images are images produced by scanning or pictures taken with a digital camera. |
| |
|
Bitmap images can also be created with an image editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. |
| |
|
Common bitmap formats include, .bmp, .png, .pict, .jpg (or .jpeg), and .tif. |
|
| |
|
Vector images are made up of scalable objects that are constrained by mathematical equations and not by pixels. |
| |
|
Vector images are independent of resolution. Consequently, vector images print at the resolution of the output device. |
| |
|
Size of vector images can be increased or decreased to any degree without adversely affecting the quality of the images, both on screen and in print. |
| |
|
Size of vector image files are much smaller than the equivalent raster images. This is because mathematics of vector art allow very large shapes to be described using extremely small amount of data. |
| |
|
Vector images are unsuitable for producing photo-realistic imagery. |
| |
|
Vector images can be rastersized or converted to bitmap images. |
| |
|
When vector images are rastersized, the images lose all the properties/qualities/advantages of vector format. |
| |
|
Also, when a vector image is opened in a bitmap editing program the vector qualities of the image are lost and the image is converted to its raster data. |
| |
|
Common vector formats include, AI (Adobe Illustrator), CDR (CorelDRAW), CMX (Corel Exchange), CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile), DXF (AutoCAD), WMF (Windows Metafile), and .eps (Encapsulated Post Script). |

A majority of work at LogoNexus.com is done with vector images. |
