Definitions
Bitmap image- Bitmap images are stored as a series of pixels. Pixel- A pixel is actually a very small square that is assigned a color, and then arranged in a pattern to form a bitmap image.
Color Depth
Color depth is either the number of bits used to indicate the color of a single pixel, in a bitmap image, or the number of bits used for each color component of a single pixel. This means the number of bits needed to code an image. For example an image will only need 2 bit color depth for black and white, such as the following image...
