raster image
an image that is defined as a collection of pixels arranged in a rectangular array.
raster image file format (RIFF)
a storage format used with gray scale images.
Raster Image - An image defined by rows and columns of pixels. Scanners capture images as raster images, although some can convert them to vector images.
raster image
An image that is composed of pixels . An image represented with a matrix of dots. See also vector image.

Raster Image Editor
A software application (also commonly called image editors) that works directly on the pixels of an image, Adobe Photoshop and Apple iPhoto are examples.
Raster image
This is a resolution - dependant image that is produced using pixels. The quality of a low - resolution image decreases as you zoom in to the image. Photoshop is raster software.
(Raster Image Processor) A processor (like a CPU) included in an output device that converts an image's data into the dot pattern. It is this dot pattern that is printed onto film or paper.

RIP: Raster Image Processing: to rasterize a file for output. When a page layout document such as a Quark file is RIP'ed all of the page elements (typography, photography, Illustrations, and Graphics) are assembled and rasterized into a Bit Mapped ...
RIP - Raster Image Processor. Raster images are made from bitmap rather than vector grids. Rasterisation is the process of converting mathematical and digital data into dots by an output device.
Raster
Raster images are made up of individual dots; each of which have a defined value that precisely identifies its specific color, size and place within the image. (Also known as bitmapped images.) ...
Located between the printer and the computer is a RASTER IMAGE PROCESSOR (RIP) or a PAGE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE (PDL).
Spatial resolution refers to the size of a pixel that is recorded in a raster image - typically pixels may correspond to square areas ranging in side length from 1 to 1000 metres.
No matter how much we screw with something in Photoshop with what started off as a raw file, we're losing information as soon as we've converted the raw data into a raster image in ACR.
This is the jargon or informal name for digital artifacts found in raster images. These star-line lines appear where there should be a smooth straight line or curve.
Digital Bitmap images (raster images) use a grid of colours known as pixels to represent images. Each pixel is assigned a specific location and colour value.The whole image would contain millions of individual pixels.
Bit-mapped images (also be known as pixel-oriented images, paint images or raster images) become more refined the higher the resolution of film used.
Autotracing
The process of converting a bit-mapped image (or raster image) into a vector image. In a bit-mapped image, each object is represented by a pattern of dots, while in a vector image every object is defined geometrically.
Because a bitmap image - also known as a raster image - contains a finite number of pixels, the way a bitmap image looks is affected by its resolution. If you scale a bitmap image, it will lose detail and quality. See also vector image.
Process of compacting digital data, images and text. Software algorithms search the raster image to build a greatly condensed (from a file storage perspective) format of the image. (See File Formats)

Most stock images are supplied as RGB Raster ImageThis is an image displayed as a series of lines of dots or video 'blips'.
