2.  Graphic cards are high specification cards with lots of memory and fast processors providing lots of power for the updated games or video work. HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface),DVI outputs typically standard versions often include several outputs for multiple displays and may include TV/Video In/out or tuners. Prices in this section would be over 70 pounds or more.

3.  A graphics tablet is an small computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images and graphics quite similar to a pencil on paper. Also these tablets can also be used to capture data or handwritten signatures.

4.  Digital camera is a camera that stores images digitally rather than recording them on film. Also if you have a computer you can upload your photos or videos to your computer.

5.  In computing a printer is a peripheral which produces text and graphics of documents stored in electronic form, usually on physical print media such as paper or transparencies.

6.  A monitor is an electronic visual display for computers. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display, also it would cost around 100- 150 pounds for a decent computer monitor.

7.  CD-ROMs are popularly used to distribute computer software, including video games and multimedia applications, though any data can be stored. Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of being played on a CD player, while data is only usable on a computer.

8.  Also in computing HDD stands for (hard disk drive) and SD stands for (secure digital) a HDD is an caddy that is referred to an disk enclosure, It is also refers to optical disks such as CD-ROMS. SD is a non- volatile memory card format developed by the SD Card Association and the SD technology is used by more than 400 brands across dozens of product categories and more than 8,000 models.

9.  What is bitmap? Most images you see on your computer are composed of bitmaps. A bitmap is a map of dots or bits that looks like a picture as long you are sitting a reasonable distance away from the screen. Also if you zoom in on a bitmap it appears to be very blocky.

10.  A vector graphic editor is an computer software that allows users to create and edit vector graphics images interactively on a computer and save them in one of many popular vector graphics formats, such as EPS,PDF,WMF,SVG or VML.

11.  Photo manipulation is the application of image editing techniques to photographs in order to create an illusion through analog or digital means.

12.  I believe that photo shop is the best software to create and edit images even though its harder to use but the quality and the tools are better, also its quicker than paint that could take hours.

13.  The BMP file format is also known as bitmap image file or Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) file format is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device especially on Microsoft Windows.

14.  Png stands for Portable Network Graphics and is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) as an image- file format not requiring a patent license.

15.  Graphics Interchange Format is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability,also the format supports up to 8 bits per pixel thus allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colours.

16.  In computing jpeg is commonly used method of loss compression for digital photography the degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable trade off between storage size and image quality.
