• Explanation:
• Bit depth is the number of bits used to select the color of each pixel in an image. 
• For instance:
• 1 bit = 2 colors. Each pixel is either 0 or 1 as seen in the black and white picture.
• 2 bit =4 colors. Each pixel can be one of 4 colors. 
• 3 bits=8 colors. Each pixel can be one of 4 colors.
• Higher bit depths allow more colors

How I made the indexed images

1. I used a smaller number of colors (2,4,8) 

2. Assigned a dramatic palette so the image remains readable and visually appealing and accessible to the audience. 

3. Exported the results as GIF and a 1-bit PNG for the black and white pciture

Why choose a lower bit depth image?

Psychological Factors:

Creates a simplistic visual that attracts the audience to the details of the image, allowing people to connect with the image more. 

Quality and Performance: 

 Fewer colors means smaller file sizes which is easier to upload and download images to my website.
