12 RGB in Digital Imaging The colour of each pixel in a digital image is made up of RGB

13 Example of a True Colour Image Bit-depth = 24-bits – 8-bits > Red – 8-bits > Green – 8-bits > Blue

14 Example of a True Colour Image 8 bits = 256 colours – 256 Red intensities – 256 Green intensities – 256 Blue intensities

15 Example of a True Colour Image 256 x 256 x 256 = 16.7 million colours

16 How do we numerically represent RGB colours?

17 What is hexadecimal? Decimal: Base-10 – 0123456789 Binary: Base-2 – 01 Hexadecimal: Base-16 – 0123456789ABCDEF

18 #FF0000

19 Why we use hexadecimal? It is more user friendly when compared to binary. Example of the colour Red 11111111 00000000 00000000 FF 00 00
