24bpp 16.7
million (approximately)
Which option you choose is based on:
• Memory —
15 & 24 bpp images are notorious for eating
Kilobytes. A 15bpp Sprite can easily fill an 800K floppy disc.
• Viewing the image —
Many applications can handle 8bpp
Sprites. However, fewer applications can handle 15 or 24bpp
Sprites or can only handle Clear files.
(Impression Style
or
Publisher
or
ArtWorks
version 1.5 can handle 15bpp and
24bpp images.)
For best quality display of 15bpp or 24bpp images, you
currently need ColourCard or other graphics accelerator
card.
• Printing —
If you want to print the grab, choose either 8bpp
grey-scale or 15/24bpp sprites.
Rate
For Sprite, TIFF and Clear options, this field reads
Static.
