7. Photos
Bit depth: It is a measurement of the number of bits used to define each pixel. The
greater the bit depth used, the greater the number of gray and color tones that can be
expressed.
The mission follows 3 kinds of scanning:
• Bito na l s c a nning : using one bit per pixel to represent black and white.
• G ra y s c a le s c a nning : using multiple bits per pixel to represent shades of grey.
• Co lo r s c a nning : uses multiple bits per pixel to represent color.
Resolution:
It is determined by the number of pixels used to present the image, expressed in dots per inch
(dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi).
Increasing the number of pixels used to capture the image will result in a higher resolution
Example:
-Images with text and size in the range of 5 X 7 inch, 600 dots per square inch (600dpi).
But just continuing to increase resolution will not result in better quality, only in a larger file
size.
Example:
-For images larger than 5 X 7 inch, 300 dots per square inch (300dpi).
