BITMAP EDITING PROGRAMS
The industry-standard bitmap program, used by digital graphic designers, photographers, web designers, and the printing industry, is Adobe Photoshop. There are various other bitmap programs used by artists and illustrators, such as Paint Shop Pro and Corel PhotoPAINT, as well as specialist tools such as Corel Painter which, unlike other ‘painting’ programs, really does simulate paint – along with pencils, pastels, and many other real world art media.
