Many graphics programs focus exclusively on either vector or raster graphics, but there are a few that operate on both. It is simple to convert from vector graphics to raster graphics, but going the other way is harder. Some software attempts to do this.<br /> <br /> In addition to static graphics, there are [[animation software|animation]] and [[video editing software|video editing]] software. Different types of software are often designed to edit different types of graphics such as video, photos, and vector-based drawings. The exact sources of graphics may vary for different tasks, but most can read and write files.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Software Graphic: graphics software |url=https://elearning.reb.rw/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3834 |access-date=2023-10-09 |website=elearning.reb.rw}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Most graphics programs have the ability to import and export one or more [[graphics file formats]], including those formats written for a particular computer graphics program. Such programs include, but are not limited to: [[GIMP]], [[Adobe Photoshop]], [[CorelDRAW]], [[Microsoft Publisher]], [[Picasa]], etc.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |title=Software Graphic: Graphics Software |url=https://elearning.reb.rw/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3837 |access-date=2023-10-09 |website=elearning.reb.rw}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The use of a swatch is a palette of active colours that are selected and rearranged by the preference of the user. A swatch may be used in a program or be part of the universal palette on an [[operating system]]. It is used to change the colour of a text or image and in video editing. Vector graphics animation can be described as a series of mathematical transformations that are applied in sequence to one or more shapes in a scene. Raster graphics animation works in a similar fashion to film-based animation, where a series of still images produces the illusion of continuous movement.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> [[SuperPaint]] was one of the earliest graphics software applications, first conceptualized in 1972 and achieving its first stable image in 1973&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |last=Alonso |first=Bogar |date=2013-05-28 |title=The 1970s Graphics Program That Spurred Space Exploration, Computer Picassos and Pixar |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-1970s-graphics-program-that-spurred-space-exploration-computer-picassos-and-pixar/ |access-date=2023-10-09 |website=Vice |language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Fauve Matisse (later [[Macromedia xRes]]) was a pioneering program of the early 1990s, notably introducing [[Layers (digital image editing)|layers]] in customer software.&lt;ref&gt;[http://pages.swcp.com/rtoads/vivisect/software/matisse.html Macromedia Matisse] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201140928/http://pages.swcp.com/rtoads/vivisect/software/matisse.html |date=2017-02-01 }}, [http://pages.swcp.com/rtoads/ Reign of Toads] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211053135/http://pages.swcp.com/rtoads/ |date=2017-02-11 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Currently [[Adobe Photoshop]] is one of the most used and best-known graphics programs in the Americas, having created more custom hardware solutions in the early 1990s, but was initially subject to various litigation. [[GIMP]] is a popular open-source alternative to [[Adobe Photoshop]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> {{colbegin}}<br /> *[[Comparison of raster graphics editors]]<br /> *[[Comparison of vector graphics editors]]<br /> *[[List of 2D graphics software]]<br /> *[[List of 2D animation software]]<br /> *[[List of raster graphics editors]]<br /> *[[Graphic art software]]<br /> *[[Image morphing software]]<br /> *[[Image conversion]]<br /> *[[imc FAMOS]] (1987), graphical data analysis<br /> *[[Raster graphics editor]]<br /> *[[Vector graphics editor]]<br /> {{colend}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist|30em}}<br /> <br /> {{Computer graphics}}<br /> {{Computer science}}<br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Graphics software| ]]</div>
