Normally reported as width x height, a monitor’ resolution represents the number of lines of pixels in each direction. So a monitor with a resolution of /1,920 x 1,080 his 1,920 lines of pixels from left to right and 1,080 lines of pixels from top to bottom. The general rule of thumb is that the greater the resolution (that is, the more lines of pixels), the better the image qualit paatutoni ae more Mes of pixels), the better the image quality however, to get an accurate indication of image quality, you must consider resolution in conjunction with monitor size. That determines pixel density. Raster vs Vector ‘There are two main type of image files: Raster and Vector. Raster images are Greated with pixel-based programs or captured with a camera or scanner. They are more common in general such as jpg, gif, png, and are widely used on the web Vector graphies are created with vector software and are common for images that Will be applied onto a physical product, Also used in CAD, engineering, and 3D) graphics which we do not provide information nor services torbefore ZOOM Window: after ZOOM Window Object Zooms to di ore selected objects as I le and .

If you zoom into a vector graphic it will always look the same painting with pixels drawing with vecto! r-conversions.com A raster image has a specific number of pixels. When you enlarge the im without cha ing the number of pixels, the image will look blurry. When you enlarge the file by adding more pixels, the pixels are added randomly throughout the image, rarely producing good resultsimilar to dipping a brush When using a raster program you paint an image and it in paint and painting. You can blend colors to soften the transition from one color to another. When using a vector program you draw the outline of shapes. and it's similar to creating an image with tiles of all different shapes and sizes. e.g. an eye shape, a nose shape, a lip shape. These shapes called objects display one single color each. A lot of images can be made with either raster or vector program and look exactly the same on both programs. Images with a subtle gradation of one color to another are the images that will look most different since vector programs need to create a <- « separate shape for each shade of color. Bie Some vector programs do have the ability to create color gradients within one single shape, but these are actually raster effects. A vector graphic with gradients contains both vector and raster elements and won't be suitable for process that requires 100% vector or true vector art Photographs are raster images and are probably the best example of images completely made of color blends - or shade blends in the case of black and white photographs - and those images look very different when drawn in vector format.

Vector graphics can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Vector Graphics Vector graphics are scalable Because vector graphics are not composed of pixels they are resolution- independent. The vector shapes - also called objects - can be scaled and printed at any size without losing quality. It can be printed as large and at the highest resolution the printer or the output device allows. yi Color editing is simple © multi-color vector image can be easily changed to a limited color graphic Limited colors are often required by some processes such as embroidery, "stencil- cut" vinyl signs, and specialty promotional items (such as logos printed on cups, pens, bottles, etc.) Vector Outline / Wireframe Vector programs display the image as we would normally see it and they also allows us to view the vector outline or Wire-frame of each object. This vector outlineAvireframe is important to some companies because it guides the equipment they use to create their products, such as engraving and cut signs. It is also important to some of these processes that the vector outlines are not overly complex.
