Image Editing software are graphic programs that provide a variety of special features for altering bit-mapped images or the creation of graphic images. Image editors also enable you to create and superimpose layers.
Bit-mapped graphics are often referred to as raster graphics. The other method for representing images is known as vector graphics or object-oriented graphics.
