eli5 what is bit depth in film?
In: 29
its the number of bits used to represent a colour on each pixel. the higher the bit depth the more combinations/shades of red, green, and blue that can be represented. for example, x bits can represent 2^x shades. this is why black and white images are usually lower in file size compared to the same image with colours; they usually use 1 bit per pixel.
