Raster artwork/raster images

Raster images can be used to store all kinds of artwork including photo images, line art and text. Raster images are made up of pixels in a grid. Pixels are picture elements; tiny dots of individual colour that make up what you see on your screen. All these tiny dots of colour come together to form the images you see.

The typical computer monitor has 72 or 96 pixels per inch, depending on your monitor and screen settings. Images that are to be used in print should have a resolution of 300dpi.
