Raster graphics software is a type of computer program used to create and edit images made up of pixels. These images, known as raster graphics, are commonly used in digital photography, web design, and various forms of digital art. Popular examples of raster graphics software include Adobe Photoshop and GIMP, which allow users to manipulate images through tools like brushes, filters, and layers. Unlike vector graphics, which use mathematical equations to create images, raster graphics are resolution-dependent. This means that when a raster image is enlarged, it can lose quality and appear pixelated. Raster graphics software is essential for tasks that require detailed image editing, such as retouching photos or creating complex artwork.
