VectorA software technology that uses
mathematical points based on “vectors" (information giving both magnitude and direction).
Because the computer has a description of how the image should look, it can be redrawn at any size, in any position, without losing any quality.
NestingDon’t place bitmap/rastor images into vector files
(unless it is used as a drawing template).
Images placed into Illustrator, unless embedded into the file are “linked”.
If you then place this file into InDesign you have a linked image within another linked image, which is referred to as “Nesting”.
Bitmap (Raster) Graphics which are edited by modifying
individual pixels, each containing specific color information. A pixel is minutely small; a single image may be composed of hundreds of thousands of individual pixels.

PlaceEPS files• Prepress quality resolution, precision, color• Based on PostScript language (InDesign displays a jpeg preview)• Contain both vector & bitmap graphics.• Will not print to a non-PostScript printer• Spot colors used are added to your swatch panel in InDesign
PlaceTiff files• Flexible bitmap image format • Supported by virtually all painting, image-editing, & page layout
applications• Most scanners support and produce Tiff images• Support CMYK, RGB, grayscale, lab, indexed-color, and bitmap files with
alpha and spot-color channels.• Spot colors appear in you swatches panel• You can use clipping paths created in photoshop
