This article mostly refers to bitmap graphics editors, which are often used to alter photographs and other raster graphics.

The pixels can be changed as a group, or individually, by the sophisticated algorithms within the image editors. Image editors can change the pixels to enhance the image in many ways. These pixels contain the image's color and brightness information. Raster images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of picture elements, or pixels.
