Vector images like logos can be resized without quality loss, while bitmap images divide photos into grids and cannot be easily resized. GIF images support up to 256 colors and are good for diagrams, while JPEG is for photos but loses information each time saved. Graphics can be embedded within files or linked, with embedded using more space. Color palettes designate subsets of a computer's color range. PNG files overcome GIF and JPEG problems with high color and lossless compression, though don't support animations. Flickr allows sharing and commenting on photos for academic or recreational use.
