//**Types of graphics**//

Bitmapped Graphics
 * Bitmapped images are made up of tiny dots called pixels
 * Each pixel can be individually edited
 * Bitmapped graphics tend to be large files
 * Common file types are .BMP, .GIF and .JPEG

//How can it be modified?//
 * Using Cloning Tool / Healing tool / Smuge tool
 * Editing induvidual pixels for example to change the colour of something or deleting.
 * Cropping
 * Adding a border or frames

Vector Graphics
 * Object oriented graphics are made up of a series of shapes
 * Also known as Object Oriented graphics
 * Store various attributes e.g. location, colour, size, fill style, line style
 * File sizes are smaller than bitmaps

//How can it be modified?//


 * Changing opacity
 * Adding more curves to altering lines to alter the shape
 * Crop
 * Alter the texture
