  2. 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 Raster Graphics

  3. 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. Raster graphics

  4. 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. Raster graphics
