Image types

For a computer to represent image information in a digital format, the
computer uses units of picture elements, or pixels.
An image file, for instance, is simply a representation of hundreds,
thousands, or even millions of pixels arranged in a grid, and computers
record the intensity and color of a pixel in 1 or more bits of data. The
greater the number of bits, or bit-depth, of an image, the more
information it can store. For easy classification, images can be categorized
into single-bit, grayscale, or color.
