Key Points
- The number of colors that an image can display is determined by its color depth or bit depth, which refers to the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in the image.
- A higher bit depth allows for a greater range of colors.
- For instance, a 1-bit image is limited to displaying two colors, typically black and white.
- In contrast, an 8-bit image can represent up to 256 colors.
- The general formula for calculating the number of colors in an image is 2 raised to the power of the number of bits used for each pixel. (2n)
- Now, let's consider an 11-bit image:
- Number of bits (n) = 11
- Total possible values = 2n = 211 = 2048
