Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos) are visual presentations on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to brand, inform, illustrate, or entertain. Examples are photographs, drawings, Line Art, graphs, diagrams, typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs, maps, engineering drawings, or other images. Graphics often combine text, illustration, and color. Graphic design may consist of the deliberate selection, creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as in a brochure, flier, poster, web site, or book without any other element. Clarity or effective communication may be the objective, association with other cultural elements may be sought, or merely, the creation of a distinctive style.

Graphics can be functional or artistic. The latter can be a recorded version, such as a photograph, or an interpretation by a scientist to highlight essential features, or an artist, in which case the distinction with imaginary graphics may become blurred.

What graphics editing program would you recommend for the following tasks?
Q. Hi folks, I need a graphics editing program that can: 1. Add borders 2. Resize both image and canvas 3. Correct photos, ideally with some automated system 4. Crop images I've been using PaintShopPro XI, but it has an awful bug related to trying cache images in the My Pictures directory. Anything else out there? Thanks

A. ~The GIMP is good for all that and also supports writing your own filters/scripts for it, and is free, although for automation, I suggest ImageMagick. It's great for automated/scripted editing.

Whats the difference between using a graphics tablet and inking art with the pen tool?
Q. I just wanted to know if there were any differences. Like, is it easier to draw and ink your line-art? Does the graphics tablet make it easier to color, or is it easier to color with the mouse? Is it better to draw a pic, then scan it and ink it with the pen tool, or is it better to just draw the pic straight onto photoshop with a graphics tablet? What are the differences and the pros to a graphics tablet?
Asked by Red Crayon Aristocrat - Tue Feb 2 00:19:27 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A pen tablet allows you to draw more naturally directly on the computer (into Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). Some artists and designers prefer this method, myself included. I have a Wacom Intuos 3 and I usually do digital painting directly into Photoshop as if I was using paint and a brush. Personally, I hate working with actual pencils and pens and going full digital has a few benefits. I will give you my pros and cons: Pros: 1) No Mess. No buying materials (paint, paper, etc) 2) Easy and instant corrections. 3) No need to scan art. OR you can still scan hand drawn art and then color it digitally by hand. (much more natural than using a mouse). A lot of people do this. 4) Natural feel, like holding a pen. 5) Easy to make selections. 6)… [cont.]
