Fotolia Accepts Vectors
Adding to Fotolia’s popular collection of bitmap images (jpeg photography), Fotolia now supports vector illustrations. Vector graphics use geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons to represent images. One main advantages of this kind of graphic is that Vectors are made from a series of mathematical curves that will print sharply even when resized.
Vectors are becoming a popular file format for use in a variety of fields, from printing, web design and mobile phones, with major advantages. For example, a logo created with a vector graphic can be printed on a business card and then enlarged to billboard size while maintaining sharp resolution and high image quality, offering versatility for printing professionals.
For use with mobile phones, vector images can be resized to fit any phone screen without quality loss. Additionally, vectors are becoming the format of choice with web designers over rasterized images. . New web browsers support a vector format (SCG), which makes it possible for web editors to integrate images that are interactive and can be modified without quality loss. In addition to these specific uses, vectors can be converted into images and be integrated in any kind of print and digital document as any other graphic.
Buying vectors on Fotolia
Vectors files are now available on the Fotolia website while searching for images. Vectors are offered in two formats (EPS and SVG) and one size, since you can dictate the size you want without quality loss. Most vector and image editing programs are able to open and edit these formats. Prices for vector illustrations start at 5 credits and extended licenses may be available if the author chooses.
