Editing Raster graphics (section)

==Raster-based image editors==
Raster-based image editors, such as [[PaintShop Pro]], [[Corel Painter]], [[Adobe Photoshop]], [[Paint.NET]], [[Microsoft Paint]], [[Krita]], and [[GIMP]], revolve around editing [[pixels]], unlike vector-based image editors, such as [[Xfig]], [[CorelDRAW]], [[Adobe Illustrator]], or [[Inkscape]], which revolve around editing lines and shapes ([[vector graphics|vectors]]). When an image is rendered in a raster-based image editor, the image is composed of millions of pixels. At its core, a raster image editor works by manipulating each individual pixel.<ref name="RasterVsVector" /> Most<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tooker |first=Logan |date=2022-02-02 |title=Photoshop vs. CorelDRAW: Which Is Better for Graphic Editors? |url=https://www.makeuseof.com/photoshop-vs-coreldraw/ |access-date=2024-07-13 |website=MUO |language=en}}</ref> pixel-based image editors work using the [[RGB color model#Digital representations|RGB color model]], but some also allow the use of other color models such as the [[CMYK color model]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://store.hp.com/app/tech-takes/print-basics-rgb-vs-cmyk |title=Print Basics: RGB Versus CMYK |date=12 June 2018 |website=HP Tech Takes |publisher=HP |access-date=1 January 2019 |quote=If people are going to see it on a computer monitor, choose RGB.
