Computer Graphics and Multimedia Overview

Computer graphics involves using computers to generate digital images through programming and pixels. There are two main types: interactive computer graphics which allow two-way communication between the user and computer through input devices; and non-interactive computer graphics where the user has no control over the image. Hardware like RAM, CPU, digital cameras and video cards are needed to process and display graphics. Popular software includes Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for photo editing and vector graphics, and Microsoft Paint for basic image editing.
