HALFTONE

In addition to the black and white display, Halftone simulates greyscale by using different sizes of dots. When viewed at a distance, the image looks like a gray image yet it consumes much less disk space. Newspapers generally use halftone images. Since halftone is a type of black and white image, the disk space required is 1/24 of that required to save a 24-bit true color image.
