Существует огромная область так называемой технической графики. Геодезисты и картографы, полиграфисты и астрономы, конструкторы и архитекторы, дизайнеры, модельеры, создатели рекламы, медики – это далеко не все, кому необходима возможность работы с изображением с помощью компьютера. Таково назначение программы "графический редактор". Использование этих программ открывает перед людьми новые профессиональные возможности. Изображение в компьютерной графике представляет собой множество точек различного цвета, которые образуют статическое или динамическое (изменяющееся, движущееся) изображение. Именно в связи с этой возможностью развивается новый вид искусства - компьютерная мультипликация (анимация). Основные функции программы графического редактора - обеспечение создания изображений, их редактирования, сохранения во внешней памяти (ВЗУ) и получения копий на бумаге, кинопленке и т.п. Среди пользователей IBM-совместимых компьютеров наибольшую известность получили такие графические редакторы как PaintBrush, CorelDraw и др.
