Which of the following is NOT a method for editing bitmapped images?

The correct answer is based on the distinction between editing techniques that apply to bitmapped images and those that pertain to vector graphics.

Bitmapped images, or raster images, are composed of pixels and are edited using techniques that manipulate these pixels directly. The methods that are commonly used to edit bitmapped images include applying filters and effects, adjusting brightness and contrast, and skewing or rotating the image. Each of these methods alters the visual aspects of the image by directly modifying the pixel data.

On the other hand, changing paths refers to manipulating vector graphics, which are based on mathematical equations and paths rather than pixels. Vector graphics allow for changes to shapes and lines that maintain their quality at any size, while bitmapped image editing does not involve paths in this way. Therefore, changing paths does not apply to bitmapped images, making it the correct choice for the method that is NOT used for editing them.
