"clear light in the sky"

If anyone is being scared off by the terms "vectorized" and "rastorized", please don't be!

use shapes (like curves or lines) as the foundation of the image, and is often the preferred format for printable images. When you shrink or enlarge a vectorized image, it stays crisp. You can shrink it to an icon or enlarge it to a billboard, and the quality is retained.

(or bitmaps) on the other hand uses pixels or dots to create a picture. A key difference here is that these rely heavily on resolution for scalability (ie. it needs to be of very high resolution to ensure it can be enlarged and retain the quality).

Common Raster-based image editors include: Photoshop, MS Paint, and GIMP
Common vector-based image editors include: CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape
