is Bitmap Color Mode? When we think of bitmap images, we most commonly think of line drawings, signatures, cartoons or logos made up of solid black and white images and text. Though they may looked jagged on-screen, bitmap images can print very crisply and cleanly with smooth edges if it has enough printing resolution. Bitmap color mode is different from a bitmap image. A Bitmap image is made up of pixels and it's clarity depends on the resolution and size that it's printed at. A bitmap image file can be in bitmap (1-bit), Grayscale (8-bit), Index (8-bit), RGB (24-bit), or CMYK (32-bit) color mode. It really doesn't matter. One final thing, if a designer were to scan a bitmap image as grayscale,
he/she would notice that the black and white edges are not sharp and would
have soft bits of gray around them. This might look better on-screen but,
when it's printed, they'd find the image to be blurry and made up of dots,
like those in a photograph, as that is the way that grayscale images must
be printed by a printer.
