* * * Bit map images can only be sized and placed and can not be used for color separations * * *

BIT MAP IMAGES: Also called raster images, use a grid, or raster, of small squares known as pixels to represent graphics. (A pixel, from picture element, is the smallest visual element on a computer screen.) Each pixel in a bit map image has a specific location and color value assigned to it. For example, a 1 inch circle in the lower left corner of the page is made up of the collection of pixels in that location, colored to give the appearance of a circle. When working with bit map images, (i.e.... scans) you edit groups of pixels rather than objects or shapes.

VECTOR ARTWORK: Consists of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors. Vectors describe graphics according to their geometric characteristics. For example, when you draw a 1 inch circle in a vector based program, the program creates the circle based on its shape and size. You can then move, resize, or change the color of the circle without losing the quality of the artwork..
