    This document introduces digital graphics and discusses types of digital images like raster and vector images. Raster images are made up of pixels and include photo-realistic images from cameras. Vector images use geometric shapes and are highly scalable. The document compares advantages of raster and vector images and discusses elements of digital graphics like file size, format, resolution, bit depth, and color space. Common file formats, resolutions, and color spaces are also outlined.

    Introduction To

    Digital Graphics
    11 Types of Digital Images

    2 Graphics Programs

    3 Elements of Digital Graphics


    • Raster Images(Known as bit map images)
    • Photo realistic images.
    • Photos coming from your mobile phone camera.
    • Raster or Bit Mapped images are made of a mosaic
    of picture elements, called Pixels
    • Vector Based Images – Its call geometric base images
    • It have some definite properties
    • Each vector carries it’s own information
    • These images have high level edit ability
    Raster

    Programs
    Vector
    Based
    Programs
    Raster Images Advantages

    High degree of photo


    realism obtainable

    High degree of manipulation


    possible, each pixel can be edited
    on an individual basis
    Vector Images Advantages
    Highly scale ability

    It can be resized without loss of


    resolution

    Even on extreme level of scaling it


    will not lose it's quality or resolution

    Object remains independently


    editable

    File size is small


    Metafiles
    It’s a mixture of pixel and vector. An example
    would be an architectural CAD Package
    Elements of Digital Graphics

    File File Format


    File Size File Size How the image
    Format
    Usually are in kilobytes is structured
    or megabytes
    Resolution
    Resolution Number of pixels or
    pixels per unit length

    Color Space Color Bit


    Bit Depth
    The amount of color
    The color of the image is Space Depth
    information in each
    in e.g. RGB and CMYK
    pixel
    File Size
    Storage
    Usually are in Network Delivery
    Quality of Image requirement
    kilobytes (KB) or Speed (File
    (Sharpness) (Hard Disk
    megabytes (MB) Transportation)
    Space)

    In general the larger the file size the higher the quality
    of the image, the greater the storage requirements
    and slower the network delivery speed possible
    File Format
    File format is a computer coding
    system, file formats relate to the type
    of computer coding that is used to
    structure a digital image.

    Every graphics programs have some file format


    or file extension (e.g. Psd. Cdr. Ai. Jpg. Gif. Etc.)
    Its important to save the file default format or
    that program can give the maximum flexibility
    to edit later
    Resolution
    Resolution is the It is expressed as The higher the
    resolution the
    number of pixels ppi (pixel per
    higher the quality
    in a digital inch) or dpi (dots of image and
    image per inch) possible output
    Bit Depth
    This is the amount In an image. It is
    of color measured in factor
    information per of e.g. 8bit, 16 bit, 24
    pixel bit etc.
    Color Space Cyan
    Red
    The color space of a digital image is
    in relates to it’s achievable color out
    put. There are two prominent types. Magenta

    Green

    CMYK (Cyan,
    RGB (Red, Green, Magenta, Yellow, Yellow
    Blue) – Additive Black) – This is the
    color process color space used for
    Blue print industry .
