5.1.1.1. a. Photo-realistic images
5.1.1.2. b. Complex drawings requiring fine detail
5.1.2. 2)Where do bitmaps come from?
5.1.2.1. a. capture a bitmap using a camera
5.1.2.2. b. capture a bitmap from a photo or other artwork using a scanner to digitize the image
5.1.2.3. c. make a bitmap from scratch with a paint or drawing program
5.1.3. 3)Legal rights protecting use of images from clip art galleries fall into three basic groupings:
5.1.3.1. a. public domain images were either never protected by a copyright or their copyright has ended (freely used without obtain permission/license fee)
