❙ 8-bit grayscale8-bit grayscale
This type of image contains 256 shades of gray, like
a black-and-white photograph. You can use most
PhotoPlus tools and commands with grayscale
images. If you’re planning to print a color image
with a black-and-white printer, you should convert
it to grayscale. This makes the image file smaller (in
bytes) and faster to process.

Some older VGA monitors and software
applications can display only 16 colors. Use this data
type for images that may be viewed on low-
resolution systems or used with older software.
❙ 8-bit indexed 256-color8-bit indexed 256-color
Some Super VGA monitors and software can
display only 256 colors. Use this data type for the
best image quality on low-resolution systems or
with some software applications.
PhotoPlus special effects and some other features
don’t work on indexed color images.
❙ 24-bit RGB True Color24-bit RGB True Color (over 16 million colors)

and gives you the most options for editing and
enhancing in PhotoPlus. You can convert an
indexed color image to this type for editing
purposes. The image won’t look different, but you’ll
be able to use all of the PhotoPlus features to edit
and enhance it.
NOTE
When you’re finished editing, you can print your images by
clicking the Print button. See page 2-7 for more information.
