True Color, RGB In this scan mode, your scanner captures 24 bits of color image information for every dot (pixel) in your resulting scanned image. Therefore over 16 million colors are possible.
Page 183 Book Chapter Search Additionally, a high color or true color graphics card is required to adequately display the color information. 256 Colors Images scanned in 256 Colors mode are scanned in a maximum of 256 colors.

It actually provides 256 shades, representing white by the value 255 and black by the value zero, with progressively lighter intermediate shades of gray by values from 1 through 254. Halftone B/W This scan mode uses various combinations of black and white pixels to simulate gray scales.
Page 185 Book Chapter Search For this reason, files created in this mode will require approximately the same amount of disk space as a Halftone B/W file. Note: In both Halftone and Lineart modes, the resolution can only be set at 150, 200, or 300 dpi. Resolution The resolution setting determines the amount of information the scanner will capture in a scanned image.
Page 186 Book Chapter Search Resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The higher the resolution is, the finer the image detail and the bigger the image file size is. Increasing the resolution will result in corresponding increases in image detail and image file size. See the examples of images at 75 and 300 dpi.
