Bitmap files are files that are more static and more
popular, they are the best to use on the Web, you may use them the
most in word applications, they are small in size, but hard to modify
because of the poor resolution. A bitmapped image is built from individual
cells called pixels, which are set to a grid like a mosaic. Most digital
photographs and screen captures are bitmap images. A bitmapped image
can not be resized withoutÊloss of quality. Resizing GIF, TIF,
BMP, PCX bitmapped formats will result in image degradation.
Important Note: A professional logo never originates
as a bitmap file since it is impossible to then convert to a needed
vector file without completely starting from scratch.
