What are
Pixels?
Elements
of a
digital
image
and are arranged in a
grid
of
columns
and
rows
.
What is
Resolution?
The number of
pixels
in a
digital
image.
What is the
Colour
Depth?
The
number
of
binary
digits
used to represent the
colour
of each
pixel
.
Digital painters
use
light
in different
colours
and
brightness
levels to create
new
colours.
The main colours they use are RBG:
red
,
green
and
blue
.
CDs
usually use
24
bits, with
8
bits for each
colour
(
red
,
green
and
blue
).
The
minimum
value for
RGB
, when using
8
bits for each
colour
, is
0.
This represents
no
light,
resulting in
black.
The
maximum
value for
RGB
, with
8
bits for each
colour
, is
255
. This represents the
brightest
intensity
of that colour.
Total number of
colours
(with
8
bits for each colour) 256³ =
16777216
