IMAGING GLOSSARY

8-bit gray level (AccuSoft term)

This indicates 8-bit gray scale. 8-bit gray level is used to distinguish between 8-bit indexed color (8i) and 8 bit gray-scale.

An 8-bit gray level DIB image is one where each pixel in the bitmap is unchanged by its palette when displayed. Each palette entry is the same as its index.
