How to Make a Pixel
A pixel is the smallest element in a computer image. Pixels can be colored or transparent and are represented as either dots or squares. Web designers may use single pixels to selectively force white space in a page layout and other people use pixels to build elaborate designs, such as faces or landscapes. Using a graphics program, such as Paint Shop Pro, you can quickly begin creating and employing pixels for your own uses.
