Understand how an image is represented in binary and describe the effect of colour depth and
resolution on a file size. Understand the file size of sound.
 Colours and Bits
There are different ways of saving images, which is why there are different file
types. Today we will look at BITMAPS.
• Each dot on a screen is called a PIXEL.
• Each pixel has a binary number to represent it

• In this image there is only 1

bit per pixel
• This means there are 2
possible combinations: 1 or 0
What would the
file size be for
this picture?

Understand how an image is represented in binary and describe the effect of colour depth and
resolution on a file size. Understand the file size of sound.
 Colours and Bits
• How can we have more than just black and white?
• In this image there are 2
bits per pixel
RESOLUTION: 4x4
• We now have 4 possible
combinations for each colour
What would the
file size be for
this picture?

Write the binary

numbers to
represent each
row
THIS IS CALLED BIT DEPTH

Understand how an image is represented in binary and describe the effect of colour depth and
resolution on a file size. Understand the file size of sound.

colours in each pixel?

Understand how an image is represented in binary and describe the effect of colour depth and
resolution on a file size. Understand the file size of sound.
 Bitmap images: Use the spreadsheet to see what difference the number
of bits really makes. Then answer these questions.
1-bit image: 2-bit image: 3-bit image:

In this image, each pixel is stored in: bit. In this image, each pixel is stored in: bit. In this image, each pixel is stored in: bit.
