Images, Sound And ASCII Flashcards
What is a vector image?
A vector image is a graphic that uses mathematical equations to create shapes, allowing for scalability without loss of quality.
What is a bitmap image?
A bitmap image is a graphic composed of a grid of pixels, where each pixel has a specific color.
True or False: Vector images can be resized without losing quality.
True
True or False: Bitmap images are resolution-dependent.
True
Fill in the blank: Vector images are typically created using _____ software.
graphic design
What file formats are commonly associated with vector images?
Common vector file formats include SVG, AI, and EPS.
What file formats are commonly associated with bitmap images?
Common bitmap file formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
How do vector images handle complexity compared to bitmap images?
Vector images can handle complexity more efficiently as they use paths rather than pixels.
Which type of image is more suitable for detailed photographs?
Bitmap images are more suitable for detailed photographs.
What is one advantage of using vector images for logos?
Vector images can be resized to any dimension without losing quality, making them ideal for logos.
True or False: Bitmap images can be easily edited in terms of individual elements.
False
What is the primary disadvantage of bitmap images?
The primary disadvantage is that they lose quality when resized.
Fill in the blank: Vector graphics are defined by _____ rather than pixels.
mathematical equations
What is the primary use case for vector images?
Vector images are primarily used for illustrations, logos, and graphics that require scaling.
What happens to a bitmap image when it is enlarged significantly?
It becomes pixelated and loses clarity.
Name one software commonly used for creating vector graphics.
Adobe Illustrator
Name one software commonly used for editing bitmap images.
Adobe Photoshop
What is the resolution of a bitmap image typically measured in?
Pixels per inch (PPI) or dots per inch (DPI).
True or False: Vector images are better for complex color gradients.
False
Fill in the blank: Bitmap images are composed of _____ which represent color.
pixels
What is one key feature that distinguishes vector images from bitmap images?
Vector images are based on paths and shapes, while bitmap images are based on pixel grids.
What is an advantage of vector images over bitmap images
It maintains its quality regardless of size.
True or False: Bitmap images can easily be converted to vector images.
False
What is the primary advantage of bitmap images over vector images?
Bitmap images can capture complex color variations and details, making them ideal for photographs.
