Data Representation: Images

Pixels

Digital images are made


from thousand or millions of
pixels (PICture ELementS)

To make an image, the


pixels are assigned different
colours
Storing Image Data

Each colour in the image is given a


number and the pixels are coloured
in with the specified colour.

Colour depth describes how


● 1-bit depth
many colours are available.

8-bit depth is the best colour- ● 2-bit depth


indexed file you normally find
(256 colours)
● 4-bit depth

● 8-bit depth
Resolution

How tightly packed the pixels are.


Effect Of Reducing Resolution

● This effect is called pixelation – where the pixels become visible


Metadata

Metadata is other information about the image that is


included with the file:

File type

Author

Date

Resolution

Colour depth
Remember it
● Images are represented by pixels.

● Colour depth is the number of bits available for each pixel.

● Resolution is how tightly packed the pixels are.

● The file size of an image increases with colour depth and


resolution.

● Metadata is additional information included with an image file


such as file type, colour depth and resolution.
