Colour Image Capture and Conversion
Graphics Elements Key elements of an image are: The picture resolution. This is defined by the number of pixels in the x- and y-directions. The number of colors per pixel. If N bits are used for the bit color then the total number of displayable colors will be 2 N. For example, an 8-bit color field defines 256 colors, a 24-bit color field gives 2 24 or 16.7M colors. Most computer systems allow for 32-bit color, which gives over 4 billion colors. Palette size. Some systems reduce the number of bits used to display a color by reducing the number of displayable colors for a given palette size.
