Bits Of Buckets
Every photograph, be it from film or a digital sensor, has a certain range of tones that can be produced, and the distribution of lights to darks is called dynamic range, which is commonly expressed in Æ'-stops.

How do bits and colors relate to one another? It's simple arithmetic. To calculate how many different colors can be captured or displayed, simply raise the number 2 to the power of the number of bits used to record or display the image.

The number of bits used to represent each pixel determines how many colors or shades of gray can be displayed.
Defines how many bits of tonal or color data is associated with each pixel or channel. For example, 2 bits per pixel only allows for black or white. 8 bits provides 256 grayscale tones or colors.

The data is sent or received in the form of bits, one alter another in a series, as shown in figure 3-2.
The first thing you've probably been told is that Raw files are 12-bits and JPEG files are 8-bits so they're "better". However that is apples vs. oranges. The 12-bit CCD is a linear encoding of light.
It follows that 8 bits or a 'byte' can represent 2^8th power = 256. We can now see that 8 bit pixels have 256 steps from "color not used" to "all of the color used" for each color channel.
If we give 256 steps (8 bits) to each of the RGB colors that create the color palette, these colors can be mixed in 16.7 million ways (256 x 256 x 256) to create 16.7 million color choices.
Backscatter is the insidious bits of out-of-focus particles that are illuminated by the strobe.
The cine film was cheap and unused short cut-off bits would certainly be available early on for use in small cameras which were easily portable in comparison the common large-format plate cameras of the time.
We need to convert this down to 8 bits to produce a nice looking JPG that will display properly on monitors. Go to Image>Mode>8 bit. Set the pull down menu to "local adpatation".
RAW files store the unprocessed image data at 12 bits per channel. Directly from the camera's imaging chip to its memory storage device. "Lossless" compression is applied to reduce the file size slightly, without compromising the quality.

Camera sensors typically have 12-bits-per-channel color (red, green and blue) for a 36-bit image (which JPEG compression reduces to 8 bits per channel).
To explain how this is possible, we need to get a bit technical: While JPEG captures 8 bits of colour per pixel or 256 shades of colour per pixel (16.7 million colours), RAW captures 12 bits of colour per pixel, ...
One interesting approach to macro photography is to take pictures of bits of larger subjects. This gives you the opportunity to see familiar things in a new way - like the expression on the face of an edible crab.
A bitmap is characterised by the width and height of the image in pixels and the number of bits per pixel which determines the number of shades of grey or colors it can represent.
I continue to get small bits of information on the upcoming Nikon mirrorless camera.
With the B setting chosen, you’ll need to amass a few extra bits and pieces before you venture out to take pictures. But the digital SLR users among you will need to check a few camera settings as well before you start.
I've gone through a number of approaches to convert film to bits. At first, I scanned with a sheet-fed reflection scanner. Very annoying. Then I got a flatbed. I scanned many images, but felt I could do better.

The colour depth of an image (also known as bit depth) refers to the number of bits used to describe the colour of each pixel. Greater bit depth allows more colours to be used in the colour palette for the image.
The images saved in this format lose a lot of color information by being reduced to 256 colors (8 bits per pixel).
A very fast external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps (400 million bits per second). Products supporting the 1394 standard go under different names, depending on the company.

Binary data packet made up of 8 bits. A byte can represent values between 0 and 255. It can depict 256 symbols, numbers or colours. In the computer field, larger byte size is described using the prefix letter for the abbreviation of the exponent of 2.
Grain refers to the ability to see individual bits of silver. A grainy image simply lacks crispness. Excessive grain looks fuzzy. As for film, the slower, the less inherent grain.
Compression - Process of coding digital data using fewer bits, in order to save storage space or transmission time. There are many Compression algorithms and utilities.
Colour bit depth: The number of bits used to represent each pixel in an image, the higher the bit depth, the more colours appear in an image. 1 bit colour: black and white image with no greys or colour.
Byte - An ensemble of eight bits of memory in a computer.
Calibration - The act of adjusting the color of one device relative to another, such as a monitor to a printer, or a scanner to a film recorder.
Eight bits equals one byte. Digital images are often described by the number of bits used to represent each pixel. i.e. a 1-bit image is monochrome; an 8-bit image supports 256 colors or grayscales; while 24 or 32-bit supports true color.
This refers to the grayscale range of an individual pixel. A pixel with 8 bits per colour gives a 24 bit image (8 bits x 3 colours is 24 bits). CCD sensors are coloured in a pixel by pixel method. (See CCD).
30/32 bit colour is billions of colours.
8-Bit Image - A digital image that utilizes 8 bits of data for each pixel. The image may contain up to 256 colors.
24-Bit Image - A digital image that utilizes 24 bits of data for each pixel. The image may contain up to 16.5 million colors.
