8-Bit Gray
A single-channel image consists of at least 256 shades of gray. An 8-
bit scanner produces a grayscale image with 1024 shades of gray
between pure black and pure white. Choose this option if you are
scanning black-and-white photographs.
With 8 bits of color information per pixel, the file size of an image is
eight times larger than a Black and White image and 1/3 the size of a
24-Bit Color image.
