2. Vector drawn images versus bitmaps
2.1. Vector images use less memory space and have smaller file size
2.2. vector objects are easily scalable without loss of resolution or image quality
2.3. vector images cannot be used for photorealistic image
2.4. bitmaps are not easily scalable and resizable
2.5. bitmaps can be converted to vector images using autotracing
3. Making Still Images
3.1. Bitmaps (raster)
3.1.1. Simple matrix of tiny dots to form image
3.1.2. Called as painting program
3.1.3. Bitmapped image can have varying bit and color depths
3.1.4. Suited for creation of Photo-realistic images & Complex drawings requiring fine detail
3.1.5. Bitmaps come from capture a bitmap using camera or photo or other artwork
