Raster image
* are based on pixels
  - used for example when printing something
* consist of a grid, or raster, of small squares or pixels.
  * I think the article needs extending. Raster images use a set of bitmaps. For an image of a size 300x300, there grid of that size. At each position in the grid, there is the color of the dot at that position. It does of course scale much less than vector graphics which use vectors to represent the data. Raster images are used for example when printing something. In the case of GDI, this is done by the printer driver in the computer.
+ Raster graphics
  * With raster graphics, images are modeled as big collections of pixels. Usually they form an image shaped like a rectangle. Each pixel holds something, like color or transparency. Raster images are used very often. Computer screens are made of a raster of points. Vector graphic images are rasterised that way. Images that are difficult to make as a vector, like photographs, are often made in the form of a raster image.
+ Vector graphics: Computer graphics :: Vector graphics
  * Example showing effect of vector graphics and raster graphics. The original vector-based illustration is at the left. The upper-right image shows a magnification of 7x as a vector image. The lower-right image shows the same magnification as a bitmap image. Raster images are based on pixels. They scale with loss of clarity. Vector-based images can be scaled indefinitely without degrading.

Real image
* are ones where the light from the image really comes from the image.
* form when light from some optical instrument converges at a point or plane in space.

Resolution image
* provide insight.
* show patterns.

Sacred image
* can separate or unite.
* serve as proxies for the divine.

Scanned image
* are pictures of what is on the scanner.
* can take large amounts of memory to process and store.

Simile
* are a way to describe something
  - comparisons between two things, using the words like or as
  - figures of speech
  - tropes.
  * A 'simile' figure of speech which derives from classical rhetoric. It is used to make a 'direct comparison'. Similes may be confused with metaphors, which do the same kind of thing. Similes use comparisons, with the words 'like' or 'as'. Metaphors use indirect comparisons, without the words 'like' or 'as'
* is an image

Synecdoche
* involves the substitution of a part for the whole, or the whole for a part.
  - tropes
* literary device meaning the part for the whole, as in crown heads of Europe.
* means the part represents the whole, or sometimes, the whole represents the part.
  * thing or concept which is indirectly named. It form of metaphor in which the whole is substituted for one part or one part stands for the whole. Welsh, Alfred Hux and James Mickleborough Greenwood. A Comprehensive Course for Grammar Schools, High Schools, and Academies,' pp
* very common grammatical tool used in the Bible.

Thermal image
* are pictures of heat rather than light.
* can provide measurements of semiconductor case temperatures.

Vector image
* are ideal for graphics with solid areas of color and distinct object definitions.
* can have irregular shapes, and the background shows around the edges.
* consist of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors
  - that are defined by mathematical objects called vectors
* files record images descriptively , in terms of geometric shapes.

Visual image
* are especially effective at telling stories and stirring emotions
  - evidence of or react to cultural and theological shifts
  - only one type of perception that is possible with remote viewing
  - the unbiased pictures seen through the viewfinder of the eye's camera
* can often be far more powerful than words.
* constitute an important element of our culture.
* have similar effects on young children.
* reinforce social control and resist people's attempts to seize power.
