Master Image List Elements

A Bitmap or sometimes called line art is a graphic containing a scanned image that contains only black and white pixels with no shades of gray. Need to save a bitmap as an EPS with transparent whites checked.

A Reverse is where the color of paper shows through a solid color. It can be the color of the paper, and can be used in any program, as any file type. Most often it will be made in InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop.

Vector art is pixel free, scalable graphics that have a sharp edge. Most likely will be a Native Illustrator file. And can be used in any color mode you want.

A Grayscale raster is a raster image that has is just black, white and gray. You have to convert your photo to a Duotone and then to a grayscale color mode and should be saved as a flattened eps or tif image.

A Duotone raster is composed of 2 images, usually black and a spot color but you can use 2 spot colors if you wish. Obviously you will have to be in the Duotone color Mode. A duotone should be saved only as an eps.

A Silhouette raster eliminates the background surrounding the important element in an image. Usually you create a mask or path to outline the element in your image. A silhouette can be in any color mode, and is usually saved as an eps.

A Full bleed raster is an image that extends off every side of the page. It can be any color modes, and should be saved as a flattened eps or tif.

A Four color raster is an image that using the CMYK to create the image. You would use the CMYK color mode and is saved as a flattened eps or tif.

A Screen tint is a screen pattern that consists of dots that are all the same size and create an even tone. You should either use spot colors or process colors. And they should be a part of your InDesign file, and should be saved as an INDD file.
