Definition of image resolution
Resolution is the concentration of pixels within a a specific area
In an image,how many bits per pixel are needed for 256 colours
8 bits per pixel-8 bit colour depth
Formula for image size in bits
Width x Height x colour depth
Formula for image size in bytes
Width x Height x colour depth/8
