Binary number system
•it has a base of 2
• it only uses two values
• … that are 1 and 0
Definition Image resolution
The dimensions of an image
Definition Image colour depth
The number of bits used to represent a colour
Benefits of increasing colour depth
- a greater range of colours can be seen
- image will be closer to the actual content of the real life image
- the image will have more detail
Lossy compression
A type of image compression that permanently reduces the colour depth and resolution of the image
Purpose and Benefits of image compression
Purpose: compression exists to reduce the size of the file
- reduce storage space it uses
- quicker to transmit or download ( image)
- not as much bandwidth needed to transmit file
- fitting in limitation of file size on eg. Email
How and why computers use binary to represent all forms of data
Why: All data needs to be converted to binary to be processed by a computer
How: Logic gates are used to process binary and registers stores it.
