32-BIT COLOR DEPTH - Anything that supports 32-bit color supports over four billion different colors (2^32, or 4,294,967,296 to be exact). Graphics cards are supporting up to and over 32-bit color, but the human eye cannot discern between colors at that level, and you need more memory on your graphics card to display 32-bit color at high resolutions. Color scanners, however, use 32-bit or higher color depth. This is a more accurate scan, even though the color difference between two pixels may not be perceptible. |
