Bowles, Melanie & Isaac, Ceri. (2009, p.24) have pointed out that 'Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator together offer a perfect platform for textile design...the bitmap-based Photoshop gives you the freedom to edit and manipulate drawings and photographs, the vector-based Illustrator enables the creation of accurate graphic drawings and effects, such as streamlined shapes and sharp geometrics'.They also stated that 'Photoshop is programmed in such a way that an image is made up of a mosic of individual coloured pixels; the software itself does not automatically recognise shapes unless they have been separated out by the user...motifs that are enlarged, will eventually lose their integrity and become 'pixelated' so that fine lines appear jagged...the total number of pixels over an area is called the resolution, this determines the quality of the image'.
