- 25. Raster and Vector Images • Raster • Vector • Created by a mathematical formula which • Are measured in dpi (dots per inch) forms smooth lines, curves and geometric objects • Resolution dependant: when scaled, the pixels get larger and the • Resolution independent – show examples image will become less clear with jagged edges • Scaled up or down without image deteriorating, they remain sharp and clear • Edited using image editing • Make excellent line drawings, DDS, logos, software, Photoshop. type, t-shirt images for sportswear, etc. • Much smaller file size than bitmap. • Best results – scan and work at the correct resolution and size from the • Specs and flats ideal to send via e-mail beginning • Once downloaded can be scaled to required size
- 26. The following example shows the difference between a raster image and a vector image. • Raster • Vector Image
- 27. Selection • Raster selection • Vector Selection • Complex, computer doesn’t know that all the pixels are part of the same object. • Just coloured dots according to the computer • Simple, a matter of clicking on the shape to select individual parts • Easier to edit
- 28. Differences in Resolution • Raster • Vector
- 29. Image Modes: RGB (Red,Green,Blue) The primary image mode for graphics is RGB You should be aware of the other modes though. Is faster to work with than CMYK, as RGB creates a smaller file size making it perfect for web. The human eye perceives colour as RGB; scanners and digital cameras capture colour information in RGB; computer monitors display colour as RGB.
- 30. CMYK (Cyan,Magenta,Yellow,Black) Colour printers generally use a mixture of different coloured inks to create the range of colours needed. RGB images must be converted to CMYK for commercial printing When an image is converted to CMYK some of the brilliance of the RGB gamut (range) of colours will be lost, so the image will have a duller appearance
- 31. Resolution Before scanning an image or taking a photo to use in Illustrator the required resolution and image mode (RGB, CMYK, Grayscale) should be determined. Choose: 300dpi for commercial printing of books, glossy magazines and brochures. 150-200dpi for laser and inkjet printers (home/office printers) make a test print to clarify the best resolution for your printer 72-96dpi for e-mail attachments, the web, PowerPoint and multimedia
- 32. Major changes to resolution after you have started may result in loss of detail and colour The larger the dpi the better the quality of the shot

Editor's Notes
- As you can see from the Sydney Opera House example, the raster image looks more realistic as it is easier to create a realistic image out of thousands of coloured dots than it is with a collection of coloured shapes. Both formats have their advantages however. In the next example, the top portion of the highest sail on the opera house has been enlarged considerably.
- Good for complex artwork and realistic images such as photos. Vector graphics can also be a little easier to edit. As the picture is made of shapes, it is easier to select and edit individual parts. For example, in both of the examples below, a sail of the opera house has been selected. In the vector example on the right it was a simple matter of clicking a shape to select it. With the raster graphic on the left, however, it was a much more painstaking process as the computer doesn’t know that all of those pixels are part of the same object. It’s all coloured dots as far as the computer is concerned so applications like Photoshop need to include complex selection tools to assist the user in selecting parts of an image.
- In this example, you can see the decrease in quality with the raster graphic. If you zoom in or enlarge a raster graphic, then the individual pixels become clearly visible. Since the vector graphic is made out of shapes, you can resize or zoom in as much as you want and the quality will remain unchanged.
