Computer Graphic: Raster and Vector

Madam Ling gave us a detail lecturing about vector and raster images.

And this is the most direct way to check.

Or rather, in Adobe Illustrator or other similar apps, when you check the image, it shows ‘path’ and ‘anchor’, it is a vector image.

Vector-based files are usually these: *.EPS, *.AI, *CDR, or *.DWG.

Bitmap-based files are usually these: *.PSD, *.JPG, *GIF, *.TIF, or *.BMP.

And we get this question from Madam Ling:

Is this image vector or raster?

Most of us say Raster… and NO IT’S A VECTOR IMAGE.

It’s a graphic image, not a real thermometer… a real one will be raster image.

Alright, this week’s lecture reference links:
