Try to identify which one is an IMAGE, a PHOTO,
and a PICTURE.

WHAT IS AN IMAGE?
An image is any
visual object that's
modified or altered
by a computer or an
imaginary object
created using a
computer.
Photo or photograph is
anything taken by
a camera, digital
camera, or photocopier.
Picture is a drawing,
painting, or artwork
created on a computer.
There are other visual objects created on a
computer that may fall into its own category, such
as clip art, graphic, illustration, render, and
a screenshot.
When talking about any of these, we suggest using
the proper terms instead of image, photo, or
picture. In other words, if you're working with clip
art, call it clip art instead of a picture.
An image/picture/photo
can be in printed and
digital copy.
Digital copies are those that was created
or copied and stored in electronic form.
Lets take a focus on
images.
An image
can also be
described in
terms
of vector
graphics or
raster
graphics.
Raster Image
Raster (or bitmap) images
are generally what you think
about when thinking of
images. These are the types
of images that are produced
when scanning or
photographing an object.
Raster images are compiled using pixels, or tiny
dots, containing unique color and tonal information
that come together to create the image. Since
raster images are pixel based, they are resolution
dependent.
The number of pixels that make up
an image as well as how many of
those pixels are displayed per inch,
both determine the quality of an
image.
As you may have guessed, the
more pixels in the image and the
higher the resolution is, the higher
quality the image will be.
Vector Image
Vector images, or line art,
keep track of points and the
equations for the lines that
connect them. Generally
speaking, vector images are
made up of paths or line art
that can infinitely scalable
because they work based on
algorithms rather than pixels.
One of the greatest things about vector images is
that you can re-size them infinitely larger or
smaller, and they will still print out just as clearly,
with no increase (or decrease) in file size.
Modern typography is
almost exclusively created
using vectors. The text
you’re looking at right now
is a product of vector
graphics.
3D modeling and the
computer graphics (CG)
we see in blockbuster
superhero films are the
direct consequence of
developments in vector art
and illustration.

is a “lossy” format meaning
that the image is compressed
to make a smaller file. The
compression does create a
loss in quality but this loss is
generally not noticeable.
JPEG files are very common
on the Internet and JPEG is a
popular format for digital
cameras - making it ideal for
web use and non-
professional prints.

the Portable Network

to permit animated images
that work similarly to
animated GIF files, while
supporting 24-bit images

available for GIFs. It also
retains backward
compatibility with non-
