different artistic styles and needs. Here's a glimpse into some popular options:
Raster vs. Vector Graphics
Software falls into two main categories: raster and vector. Raster software works with
pixels, like tiny building blocks forming an image. Editing on a raster canvas feels similar to
traditional painting. Popular examples include:
