mauarduz Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 What is the difference between importing bitmaps with the different bit depth options in the vector document, in terms of quality and size, etc.? tanx [ 09-06-2002: Message edited by: mauarduz ] [ 09-06-2002: Message edited by: mauarduz ] Quote Link to comment
Matthew Giampapa Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Bitmap depth is the number of bits used to store the color information for each pixel. 1 bit is black and white only. 8 bit is 256 colors. 16 bit is 65536 colors. 2 raised the # of bits = # number of colors. The trade off is size. depending on the number of horizontal and vertical pixels in the image. Each one take that many bits of space. So a 200 x 200 image at 8 bits would be 312.5kb, while the same 200 x 200 image at 32 bit would be 1.25mb. Matthew GiampapaNNA Technical Support Quote Link to comment
