Changing the bit depth of a picture
You may want to change the image bit depth of a picture you take. For
example, if the picture uses millions of colors, but you plan to print it on a
grayscale printer, you can change the image bit depth to 256 shades of gray.
Changing bit depth and compression scheme can reduce the amount of disk
space required to store an image, but the changes may affect image quality.
To change the bit depth, choose Change Image Depth from the Image menu.
Then choose the bit depth you want. If you’re not happy with the result,
choose Undo from the Edit menu.
