With binary I meant 1-bit pixels; in mspaint.exe this is called monochrome bitmap. I find the distinction convenient because one dimensional color can be called grayscale or black and white. Maybe 1-bit could be called black or white.
- xdennis 5y agoThe term doesn't originate with computers, so the mono in monochrome doesn't refer to the 1 bit, but to the one colour. One dimensional colour isn't necessarily grey so monochrome is only greyscale when referring to black and white images. If you make a cyanotype print of a black and white image the colours are blue, white and all the blue shades in between. One colour, but it's not greyscale.
- arketyp 5y agoFair enough. Anecdotally though I've gone to the printer's and had problems expressing the binary/1-bit color conceptualization.
