Raster-based image editors, such as PaintShop Pro, Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Paint.NET, Microsoft Paint, and GIMP, revolve around editing pixels, unlike vector-based image editors, such as Xfig, CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape, which revolve around editing lines and shapes.

Take picture with macbook. Many engineering, manufacturing and construction companies still have a substantial legacy of paper or scanned documentation for existing products, machinery and layout drawings that are still 'live'. But as and when 'as built' design changes are required or building layouts change quite often the cost overhead of re-drawing is high and unnecessary.
Equally GIS and infrastructure professionals often need to simply edit existing map data, building elevations or existing geospatial and digital satellite imagery to maintain and update existing records with new developments or proposed plans.

AutoCAD Raster Design software enables businesses to easily re-use existing digital data by allowing direct manipulation of raster imagery inside of a standard AutoCAD file using a powerful raster manipulation toolset which includes; raster line to vector conversion, OCR recognition to convert text to vector, rubber banding of digital imagery and other image processing tools.
AutoCAD Raster Design is available within the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection, and works with AutoCAD®, AutoCAD® Architecture, AutoCAD® Electrical, AutoCAD® Mechanical, AutoCAD® P&ID AutoCAD® Civil and Civil 3D, AutoCAD® Map 3D,AutoCAD® MEP and Autodesk® Topobase™. It now also comes as part of AutoCAD with specialised toolsets.

Handel Street Upholsterers pty.Ltd
Problems
Customer was required to duplicate pattern cut outs for the purpose of car interior customisation.
Solutions
The CAD operator received the individual pattern pieces which had been removed from the vehicle. These pattern pieces could be leather, cloth or vinyl. They then traced these on to cardboard to create firm templates. The templates are scanned and using Wiseimage PRO auto-trace command; with settings for outline recognition they trace the template into a CAD format. The vectorised templates are then placed to fit economically onto a pelt of leather. The CAD system then sends the drawing to the cutter which cuts the pattern ready for stitching.
Best Raster Software
This has been a simple method for the operator to use in order to save their company many manual man hours of working with flimsy materials. Furthermore, they now have a library of various car seats from which they can now simply extract from their existing library. Initially they felt the investment was rather pricey but have definitely seen the benefit after years of using the software, especially in the quick turnaround that they can provide customisation now. They now also do repairs of panels to match existing interior.
