4.4 Representation of Graphics

Describe how increasing resolution and colour depth of graphics can have contrasting effects on the file size and image quality.

Discuss the trade-offs between using high-resolution, high-colour-depth images in a website, considering factors such as user experience, bandwidth, and storage.

Explain how colour depth impacts the quality of a digital graphic image. Include in your explanation what is meant by colour depth.

A graphic image has a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and a colour depth of 24 bits. Calculate the storage requirements for this image in bits and in megabytes (1 byte = 8 bits, 1 MB = 1024² bytes).
