Achieving the pages you’re dreaming of sometimes means creating, scanning, or importing
graphics. This chapter provides background information on computer graphics and tips and
techniques for creating graphics that cut and display well. We recommend that you complete
the practice project to gain experience with converting graphics (see “Practice Project:
Converting and Vectorizing a Bitmap File” on page 110).
Introduction: Pixels, Resolution, Vectors, Oh My!
Most computer graphic programs create objects with tiny dots called
pixels
. The number of
pixels per inch, which is also referred to as
dots per inch (dpi)
is called the object’s
resolution
.
The higher the resolution, the more dots per inch. And, the higher the resolution, the more
detail in the graphic. To see the difference between an image created at 72 dpi and 300 dpi, see
figure 150.
Figure 150
Cutting the hundreds of dots that compose an image would be cumbersome and time-
consuming. Therefore, you must convert the image from pixels to vectors, which are lines and
curves. This process can be done with the Pazzles Creative Cutter software, which essentially
connects the dots for you. The closer the dots are to each other (and therefore, the higher the
resolution), the smoother the cutting lines and curves.
