So in response in the article that i read about the diffrence in use between a bitmap and a vector image pretty much told me everything i already know.
Vector formatted images are very much use full for files that will be up scaled or down scaled such as logos, graphics for billboards, silk screen graphics like t-shirts, and many other things.
Bitmap images are pure oposite from vectors because they are perfict for photographic images and web images as opposed to relitivly flat artwork like a vector.
the big diffrence between the two is how the computer functions with the information.
Bitmaps have tiny cells of color more comfortably known as pixels, these pixels in one image can be millions of difrent colors. if you scale a bitmap image down the pixels still look great as a whole composition or image. but the downside to a bitmap is if you try to scale it up the computer cant create colors with no instructions to follow therefore incresing size renders you a blurry, foggy image of lesser quality then the original.
a vector image is quite different and computers love to scale them ( so i think haha!) vectors are shapes made with points and lines and solid colored fills and gradients. these you can scan because instead of remembering single pixels the computer remember the geometry and mathematics to recreate something to the given size any day or any time. (computers love math, I don't, that's why I love computers ;D) any how with a given set of instructions ( the math and geometry) the computer can recreate your image with no problem or distortion
