What are bitmap images?
• Made of pixels (single colour squares arranged on grid). • Each pixel is assigned a binary value which represents the colour of that pixel.
Quality of bitmap images:
• Depends on the total amount of pixels (resolution). • Scaling a bitmap image up results in a loss of quality. • Photos/screenshots are bitmap images.
Define resolution:
• The total amount of pixels.
Vector Images:
• Are drawn by the computer following precise mathematical instructions to create liens and objects. • Usually smaller in file size compared to big maps because each pixel in a bitmap is stored as an individual binary value.
Quality of vector images:
• Can be scaled up without any loss of quality. • Logos and Animations
File Size of a Bitmap calculation -
Resolution * Colour Depth
Metadata includes:
• Height in pixels • Width in pixels • Colour depth • Resolution • Geolocation • Date created • Last edited • File type • Author details.
Why is metadata important?
So the image can be displayed correctly.
