Photoshop Basics: Bitmap vs. Vector Images

Adobe Photoshop is an image editing software used by professionals to refine digital images. It allows users to create and edit graphics and photos for print and web. Bitmap images are composed of pixels arranged in a grid, making them resolution dependent. Enlarging a bitmap image can reduce quality as pixels become more visible. Vector images use geometric objects defined by mathematical equations, making them resolution independent and printable at any size. To create a new document in Photoshop, users click File > New to open the document setup box. They can then configure rulers, grids and other options to define the new document.
