24 bit/3 byte image An image can be either RGB or CMY and each of the three colors uses
1 byte or 8 bits of data. Since 3 bytes equals 24 bits, these images are
also known as 24 bit images. This system is used for high quality video
imaging and scanning. For process color printing, a fourth color
(black) is added for optimum effect. See also
digital data .
32 bit/4 byte image
An image that uses 8 bits each for CMYK pixels, or 8 bits for each RGB
pixel and 8 pixels for a mask layer or other future use. Since 4 byte
equal 32 bits, these images are also known as 32 bit images. An 8 bit
CMYK image is the minimum required for high quality print
reproduction. See also

4 color printing Color reproduction method used to create full color output by
overlaying cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks.
8 bit/1 byte image An image limited to 256 tones of one color or 256 different colors.
Since 1 byte contains 8 bits and each bit has two choices, 1 byte equals
28 choices or 256 possibilities. See also

Additive color model
Color system in which the picture is composed of the combination of
Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) light transmitted by the original
subject. Effective for monitors and TV's but not for print. Scanners
normally first scan in RGB and it is converted into CMYK for
printing. See also RGB, CMYK, process colors, subtractive color
model.
Amplitude Modulation
Halftone screening, as opposed to FM screening, has dots of variable
size with equal spacing between dot centers.
Anti-Aliasing
A step effect in which angled lines or curved edges of elements in an
electronic image look broken or jagged, as a result of producing it in
a grid format. Increasing resolution can reduce this effect or using a
technique called anti-aliasing where the edges are softened.
