Storing images

?
What type of image is used most often and what is it?
Bitmap (many used for photos) - they are made up of tiny dots called pixels.
1 of 12
How is the colour of each pixel represented?
By a binary code. The number of colours available in an image is related to the number of bits the code has.
2 of 12
How many bits does a black-and-white image need?
Needs 1 bit - 0 for black, 1 for white
3 of 12
How many colours can a two bit image have?
A two bit image can have a maximum of four colours. The colours are represented by the binary values - 00, 01, 10, 11
4 of 12
How can you make a greater range of shades/colours?
Increasing the number of bits.
5 of 12
What is the colour depth?
The number of bits used for each pixel.
6 of 12
What is the formula for working out the amount of colours that can be used?
total number of colours = 2 (n)
() - to the power of
n = number of bits per pixel
7 of 12
Most devices use which colour depth?
24-bit colour depth. 8 bits are used to indicate the levels of red, green and blue needed for each pixel.
8 of 12
What is image resolution?
It's the number of pixels in an image. The higher the resolution, the better quality image.
9 of 12
What is the formula to work how many bits an image will take up?
file size (in bits) = image resolution x colour depth
= width x height x colour depth
10 of 12
Using a greater image resolution means what?
The more bits in the image.
11 of 12
Having a high-quality image does what to the file size?
Increases the size.
