rasterpilt

Rasterpilt is a term that refers to a type of digital image file or a digital representation of an image. In essence, a rasterpilt is composed of a grid of individual pixels, each assigned a specific color value. These pixels are arranged in rows and columns, forming the complete picture. When you zoom in on a rasterpilt, you can often see the individual squares or dots that make up the image.

Common file formats for rasterpilts include JPEG, PNG, and GIF. These formats are widely used for photographs, web graphics, and other types of digital artwork. The resolution of a rasterpilt, which determines its detail and clarity, is defined by the number of pixels it contains. A higher resolution generally means more pixels and a sharper image.

The creation and manipulation of rasterpilts are typically done using image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. These programs allow users to edit individual pixels, adjust colors, apply filters, and resize the image. However, when a rasterpilt is scaled up beyond its original resolution, it can become pixelated, losing its sharpness and detail due to the stretching of the existing pixels. This is a key characteristic that distinguishes raster graphics from vector graphics, which are based on mathematical equations and can be scaled infinitely without loss of quality.
