?
What's a pixel?
a single point in an image which can have its colour set independently
1 of 10
How is the size of an image expressed?
by a number of pixels
2 of 10
If the size of a picture is increased, what will happen?
more pixels will need to be stored, meaning the file size will increase
3 of 10
What's a bitmap image?
an image made up of binary digits representing the colour of each pixel in an image
4 of 10
If there were 4 colours in an image, how many bits would be needed?
2 bits (00,01,10,11)
5 of 10
What's colour depth?
the number of bits per pixel
6 of 10
How do you work out colour depth from the number of colours in an image?
You convert the number of colours to the power of 2
(e.g. 2 = 2^1 colours = 1 bit is required)
7 of 10
If the colour depth is increased, what happens to the file size?
More bits will be used to represent each pixel, so the overall size will increase
8 of 10
The greater the number of pixels per inch...
...the sharper the image will be and the larger the size of the image
9 of 10
How do you calculate file size?
In bits=
image width x image height x colour depth
