Chapter 1: Review Questions

1. What are the primary colors computers mix to create other colors?
   
   Red, Green, and Blue. Often referred to simply as RGB.
   
2. What are the primary image types and how do they differ?
   
   The primary image types are vectors and bitmaps. Bitmaps essentially map images on a pixel-by-pixel basis in a series of columns and rows. For example, bitmaps have coordinates, such as 20 x 17, which would be a specific pixel. Because the dimensions of bitmaps can be large, bitmaps themselves can be large in terms of file size.
   
   Vectors function by using mathematical formula to essentially plot or describe the image. For example, if there is a line, that line could start at any specified point and end at any specified point. The points are charted and the line between them is drawn. If you want to change the points, you can do so, the line is drawn again.
