Changing the Number of Colors

To convert the color format of your image, select Number of Colors from the Image menu. You can choose from the

following:

◗24 Bit (Millions of Colors)

The way your images are originally captured.

◗8 Bit (256 Colors)

For low-resolution display systems or certain types of software.

◗Grayscale (256 Shades of Gray) For printing in black and white.

If you save your image as 8 Bit or Grayscale, you cannot switch back to 24 Bit color.

NOTE

Unlike the other editing options, changing the number of colors applies to the whole image. You can’t change the number of colors for a selected area only.
