1. Image editing programs is able to:
1.1. Enhance and make composite images
1.2. Alter and distort images
1.3. Add and delete elements
1.4. morph
2. texture
2.1. properties held and sensations caused by the external surface of objects received through the sense of touch
3. 3-D app features
3.1. modeling
3.2. extrusion
3.3. lathing
4. rendering
4.1. Use of intricate algorithms to apply user-specified effects
4.2. a single image may take up many hours
5. image file types
5.1. Macintosh formats
5.2. Windows formats
5.3. Cross-platform formats
6. still images
6.1. an important element of a multimedia project
6.2. generated in two ways:
6.2.1. Bitmaps (raster)
6.2.1.1. Photo-realistic images
6.2.1.2. Complex drawings requiring fine detail
6.2.2. Vector-drawn graphics
6.2.2.1. Applications of vector-drawn object
6.2.2.2. How vector-drawn images work
6.2.2.3. Vector-drawn images versus bitmaps
7. bitmaps
7.1. advantage
7.1.1. Can have different textures on the drawings; detailed and comprehensive.
7.2. disadvantage
7.2.1. Large file size
7.2.2. difficult to modify objects/drawings
7.2.3. Resizing a bitmapped image requires either duplicating pixels.
7.2.4. Graphics become "blocky" when the size is increased.
8. vector graphics
8.1. advantages
8.1.1. Vector images use less memory space.
8.1.2. download & draw faster than bitmap
8.1.3. easy to scale without losing resolution and image quality
8.1.4. easy to edit
8.2. disadvantage
8.2.1. Objects/drawings cannot have texture.
8.2.2. cannot be used for photorealistic images.
